Exxon/Mobil owns Esso but the oils they sell are not the same.
That'* not to say that Esso oils arn't any good though.
but it does not fall in the same group as M1syn.
I highly doubt that Esso'* base oil is as exotic as M1'*

Don't forget, Walmart sells a full syn under their Super Tech brand. Some people dog their stuff, but as Bill Buttermore told me, if it has the corresponding SAE ratings as more expensive oil, it still meets the same standards. I use the regular Super Tech 10W-30 dino oil in mine.
