Honda FEO oil

Is this oil semi-synthetic or just normal mineral based?

I've been searching these forums to find a good oil for my DC5R and found that alot of people use the oem Honda FEO oil, and in most posts its been called a semi-synthetic oil. However today i went to my local Honda dealer and bought a 5 litre bottle, noticed it didn't say on the bottle whether its synthetic or mineral based, so i asked and was told its not synthetic at all.

So what is it?? If its not synthetic i think i'll go back to Mobil 1 5w-50 next oil change.

it is only semi syntheic. I've used it before and its not a bad oil. Much thinner than your Mobile 1 5-50w. If you gonna use Mobile 1 use the 5-40w as the recommended viscosity is 10-30w. Otherwise you can get 5-30 in mobile 1 but its not cheap

semi synetheic and made by Caltex to Honda blend
5-50w oil, u sure u need something so thick?
0-40w is what I use
