    Nem "kamu". Jogilag lehetséges, bár szerintem etikátlan.

    Anno a Castrol perelte a BP-t, mert a krakkolt olajra ráírta, hogy szintetikus. A vége az lett, hogy Németországban (egyedül) nem lehet a krakkolt olajokra ráírni, hogy szintetikus, ekkor találták ki a HC-szintetikus kifejezést. ( lásd pl Castrol edge)

    A Exxonmobil meg a Castrolt perelte a szintetikus elnevezés miatt.

    " The legal position on calling lubricant fluids SYNTHETIC is different in some parts of Europe and in America. Many years ago, a case was brought by Castrol Germany against BP over claims by BP that their motor oil, formulated with LHC hydro-cracked, was a SYNTHETIC oil. Castrol won the case meaning that if SYNTHETIC is claimed it must be formulated with genuine synthetic, not hydro-cracked.

    Some years later-when hydro-cracked materials became widely available in the marketplace, Mobil took Castrol to court in America over the claims that their oil was a SYNTHETIC when formulated with hydro-cracked stocks. The American court ruled against Mobil & as such opened the “flood gates” for the oil industry to call hydro-cracked stocks SYNTHETIC everywhere except in Germany. Today, BP own Castrol, Esso (Exxon) own Mobil & Silkolene are owned by the German Fuchs company who use MC stocks. Therefore hydro-cracked (extra highly refined mineral stocks) can legally be defined as SYNTHETIC but not in Germany.

    While SAE issues many standards that are related to Motor Oil, over 20 years ago all references and "definitions" of what constitutes a "Synthetic" lubricant were deleted from such standards. American Petroleum Institute never defined what "synthetic" is. National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureau ruled that "Synthetic" is a marketing term and that it is the responsibility of the Marketer (the one who labels and markets the oil) to define what it is.
