Synthetic Oil??? However you can see clearly in the picture of the product that it says "Fully Synthetic" Is this product description wrong?

4T is Full Synthetic just as the other Mobil 1 oils are. It's a bad description. I see no basic difference between Mobil 1 Full Synthetic for automobiles and for motorcycles, other than the mixture of additives. Here is a quote from the Mobil 1 website for 4T: It's a little hard to generalize about the difference between Mobil 1 passenger-car motor oils and Mobil 1 motorcycle oils. That's because not all viscosities of Mobil 1 passenger-car oils have the same levels of zinc and phosphorus, and there are even greater differences among the two Mobil 1 motorcycle oils. In general, Mobil 1 motorcycle oils have: Additive packages balanced differently for motorcycle engine and transmission operation. For passenger vehicles, fuel economy and emission system protection are higher priorities. These require low phosphorus systems and the use of friction modifiers. Motorcycle oils do not require friction modifiers for fuel economy and for better clutch friction less/no friction modifier is optimum. Motorcycle oils allow the use of higher levels of antiwear additives such as ZDDP (phosphorous).

No, it is not. I received an e-mail from the makers which indicated that their oil should not be taken internally.

Yes I want to know this too, please. Been advised never to buy YL oils from Amazon or other source other than YL direct because they've been tampered with in some way or another. This is a great price and I'm tempted anyway! Comments?

This product is thinned with vegetable oil. It is stated on the FAQ section of their website. I tend to think this product would lose its environmentally friendliness if thinned with any petroleum based oils...

the bottles say 100% pure oil, having the word organic on the bottle does not mean a whole lot, but only words to make you buy it...

I would agree that it is since we have the same engine "technically". The issue you may want to consider is if you have been using a non-synthetic oil- this one is indeed synthetic and I hear that you shouldn't mix. If you are already using synthetic this is a fantastic oil for our cars. I am using it in a 2012 Audi A4 1.8T

I have researched the oil and when mixing it yourself you would only use 10 drops of the oil in a pint of other ingredients. So while you think you are getting ripped off, you are not. 10 drops is all that is needed and it is the active ingredient.

I believe it is synthetic. I bought it as a gift request for someone and had it sent directly! They liked it do much I ordered more for the. Never seen it myself.

Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure."I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the product yet, however. I hope this helps.

So far, I've had no problems with synthetic oil. However, my unit is only a couple of months old. I was also worried based on some of the older reviews mentioning problems but the newer ones don't. The owners manual has no warning about synthetics. So I can't tell if:1. They fixed the problem or2. Mine just hasn't had enough time/use for the synthetic oil to do its damage or3. Other owners didn't clean the vac. very well. I use a good soap detergent and make sure there is basically no oil residue left.I just read Duck's answer so I'll bet folks are not cleaning the unit properly and timely.Good luck.

Pure Mineral oil and Petrolatum...petroleum products are natural? Sorry, not for my body!

So one answer was, "This particular mink oil is natural." Saying that it's natural could mean that this is 5% mink oil, and 95% other animal fats or vegetable oil etc. Does anyone know what the ingredients are? I'd really like to know what the breakdown is.

No, it's not a " smelling " oil. It's used more for it's benefits , skin, hair.. Etc. But I don't really notice ANY smell. When there is a smell in lotions, & other items 90% of the time it's a synthetic one, not a true real scent. Some ppl do not like the actual " real" smells of pure oils etc. Because they are so accustom to the artificial fake SMELL, lol... This is a great product, ! Little to no scent . But I highly recommend it !! It's a great oil !! Jenn.R ~

This is NOT travel sized. If you re-read the description carefully it says and "Travel sized argan oil" included. The way it's worded is odd but if you read the description again, you will see where it's the oil that is travel sized.

As I have read from the manufacturer/distributor it is not synthetic. But in this world, "let the buyer beware". If you are concerned contact the manufacturer/distributor directly.

Absolutely, actually synthetic oil generally provides better protection for engines.

I've tried this, and another brand. I would have to say that this one is 100% oil of oregano. I would be suprised if I was wrong, but if you send a message to the seller, they should be able to give you a definite answer.
