Certified olive oil will be ok. 
Stryker, valvoline synpower is not an equivalent to mobil1. It's not a true synthetic. Amsoil, redline, royal purple are some other true synthetics. Not that it would really matter if you use a real synthetic or not. I pretend it does though and I use mobil1 and enjoy long drain intervals and a quieter engine.

From what I understand, they still use a base dino oil. There is no regulation on how a company uses the word synthetic for their products.
But make sure it cost atleast $2 a quart, has certification from the EPA,FDA,FCC, and CIA, even if it'll be in the car for just a day.
