No Full Synthetic Oil in the Z?

At one time Mobil 1 was fully synthetic but they lost a lawsuit to Castrol who advertised their oil as fully synthetic but was using an organic base. Mobil then changed their formula and started using an organic base which is cheaper to produce. A few years ago Mobil came out with their extended performance synthetic oil which is fully synthetic.

Using Mobil 1 full synthetic, which was recommended by my dealer. No issues.
