This has been answered already. Why do you keep asking the same question?

There is no API "Full Synthetic" uber performance criterion. "Synthetic" is a marketing term in North America. Use manufacturers groups (ILSAC or ACEA) and individual manufacturers specification approvals when seeking performance from a lubricant.
