>From their web site:

   The Mobil 1 Series motor oils are blends of synthesized hydrocarbon
   fluids (SHF's) and esters derived from petrochemicals. While they
   appear chemically similar to mineral oils refined from crude, they
   are pure chemicals which do not contain the impurities or waxes
   inherent in conventional mineral oils.
