I looked at the msds of the X5 20w50

maganda yun base-oil, difference with the x7 is the additive package. add pack is probably low content

yes, one has to really read the lyrics carefully, to get an idea of exactly what one's money is buying.

Sir, ito yung SDS ng Caltex Delo 10w-30 Synthetic Blend.
May part akong nabasa na,
Components: Highly refined mineral oil (C15 - C50)
Amount: 70 - 99 %weight

Ibig sabihin ba nun, pwedeng 99% ay ordinary mineral oil lang tapos the remaining 1% ay additives/PAO?

Yep and they can still legally call it semi-synthetic.

any oil labelled "hdeo" have more additives(so the base oil is not 99% or even 90% for that matter) don't worry about it being mineral. if your car asks for API-CI4 it will will meet the oil change interval set on your owners manual.
