Understanding synthetics means more refined crude to remove less desirable
elements from dirty oil until what’s left is mostly higher-performing
molecular structures.
Synthetics were invented to give owners advantages conventional oils could not... however
technically speaking both mineral and synthetics will meet and exceed your mileage expectations...
Manufacture synthetic goals...
Higher viscosity index
Better viscosity stability at varied temperatures
Better chemical and shear stability
Consistent fluidity
Better lubricity at low temperatures
Faster lubrication at start-up in low temperatures
Resistance to oxidation (thickening), thermal breakdown, and oil sludge problem
Excellent protection at high temperatures
Engine cleanliness
Outstanding protection against harmful deposits
Cleaner running engines
Lower oil evaporation
More engine power
Lower maintenance cost
