That's kinda what I'm thinking. It's almost a deliberate sabotage to imply this stuff is worse than M1. They want an oil for every price bracket, and, apparently, synthetic can be made/sold for a 10-30% premium over conventional.
This could be an AZ exclusive, even, like how Nuprin are only sold at CVS. And if not exclusive it's another shelf-flanker to keep pennzoil off the shelves, or prevent price-matching against walmart.
It's a known marketing angle to make generic packaging almost shameful.
