Synthetic oils are generally considered better quality than standard mineral oils and offer better performance and durability.
Traditional mineral oils are refined from crude oil, while synthetic base oils are created through chemical processes that result in a cleaner, more consistent product. With fewer impurities like sulfur and wax, synthetic oils provide better engine protection, reduce harmful deposits, and maintain optimal flow at both cold and high temperatures, helping to prevent engine wear and improve overall performance.
Some key benefits of using synthetic oil include:
- Superior performance in extreme temperatures
- Less buildup of sludge and engine deposits
- Improved fuel efficiency due to reduced friction
- Greater resistance to oxidation and breakdown
- Increased Shear Resistance
- Longer oil change intervals
These qualities make synthetic oil a more dependable choice, especially for modern engines that require greater protection and efficiency such as high performance cars and motorcycles.
