I would be hard pressed to accept that any 0W-20 was anything other than synthetic, depending on what you think synthetic actually means. In order to meet volatility requirements a 0W-20 is unlikely to use much conventional Group I base oil.

It is specified as required because 0W-20 is what they would have used for EPA emissions and fuel economy testing.
