Default Dino Oil Question

I hear you guys talk about this dino oil and what it did to Glock's engine.
What is Dino oil and how does it differ from Mobile 1 or standard oil?
Thanks :confused:

Dino oil is just regular oil/ Non-Synthetic. Full synthetic is made from
petroleum base stock just like Dino oil but the molecules have been made more stable in size to allow better lubricating properties. This is an over simplified explanation but should give you the jest.
