A note on semi-synthetic oils - I read once that they typically are only
10% or so synthetic, the rest is regular dino oil.  So for the "privilege"
of saying you're running the stuff, you're paying a huge premium for very
little difference from regular oil.  Complete marketing bullshit ripoff if
ever there was one..
