Synthetic Blend Oil? Gimmick?

My pessimism got the best of me…

I’ve recently saw a brand name “Juice Cocktail” which had a label stating that it had less than 10% real juice – this means that it could contain almost NO real juice and be correct (less than 10% real juice).

You know where I’m going – it is quite possible that synthetic blend oil could be 99% regular or conventional (dino) oil….

Are there any specs for synthetic blend oil or is this a marketing gimmick?

Try #2(#1 disappeared????) Staying overnight in Albuquerque – Not a good idea

(PS If there is something offensive about this post please advise)

Hello,
I’m from New Mexico and have no grudge against one of our cities.

If you value your vintage auto or other belongs, you’re risking theft if you stay at a local motel overnight.

For years now, I’ve heard of vehicles, trailers, box trucks, race cars, etc being stolen from motels and it appears that it is nowhere under control. I don’t even know if the local motel association cares. This happens at high end motels also….
