Actually, the question made me go and try to find out exactly what synthetic oil is. Difficult to get answers of course, because the recipe will be a trade secret (of many different companies). Basically, it seems it is highly refined and "constructed" so that anything in it benefits the engine and the lubricating/protecting process. Mineral oil apparently has many components that are actually HARMFUL to your engine (doesn't mean you shouldn't USE it of course)
