Am I right?

Do you know if the XLF Amsoil 5w30 is a full synthetic oil (group IV) or a 'false' synthetic oil (Group III)?

I noticed on the Amsoil website that they proudly
say that the ASL oil is "100% synthetic motor oil" but for the XLF oil they only say "Extended Life synthetic motor oil", no 100% synthetic on this page.

They are all so vague that I become suspicious on everything now. Bad for business not to be 100% honest.
Yep, thats certainly the what I think is being said??
Your summation is my summation...

Anymore, I don't really know what to believe about
Amsoil....thats why I was going with the Royal Purple
so I could quit guessing and assuming...just trying to
end the confusion...
