a) WalMart's "Super Tech synthetic" is another group III oil sold at an appropriate price.
2) To my knowledge, there is not a single "natural" oil that meets ACEA A/B specs, only synthetic blends, "faketec", and true synthetics.
And there is no longer a "bright line" difference between "natural" (or Group I) oil and "called synthetic" (or Group III), what with Group II and Group II Plus filling in the void. Then there's GTL (gas to liquid) lubricants on the near horizon, lubricant base stock being one of the products coming out of factories that convert natural gas to a more easily shipped refined pretroleum product. These factories are under construction and will be on-line within the next several years.
