For fully synthetic oil look for "100% Synthetic" in the bottle. My choice is Torco.
Don't be a victim of marketing. 100% synthetic does not have any legal meaning except in Germany. ExxonMobil indeed uses polyalphaolefins, esters, and alkylated naphthalenes in their oils.

Regardless of the base stocks used, the most important thing is that the oil meets the proper specs.
