The manual for the 2012 Lexus LS460 says to use 0-20 w Oil. Is this Fully Synthetic or a Synthetic Blend ?

If you want to choose a superior product than the minimum that your car requires, any brand that has GM's dexos approval (the green label on the front of the bottle) and or is approved for ACEA A1/B1 A5/B5 would provide much better protection for not just the engine but the emissions system as well.
I've always kept my oil clean on other cars and used a quality oil.
When I went to the auto store I didn't realize that the synthetic oils were not pure. Thanks for clearing that up

Myth: Synthetics made from Group III base oils are not true synthetics and are not as good as PAO-based synthetics in Group IV. Again, untrue. Synthetics made from Group III oil can, in some cases, outperform those made in Group IV oils in some areas of performance.
