What advantages does Fully Synthetic Oil have over mineral oil??

Question

5 litres just cost me £40-00

Answer 1

Lower pour point, higher flash point, what this means in practical terms is that the oil will flow faster after a cold start up, faster flow means less engine wear immediately after you start the engine. Higher flash point means less chance for engine sludge in a hot running engine, this is essential in high performance motors, forced induction engines. The synthetic base stock performs better needing less additives.

Answer 4

Mineral oil usually must reach a certain temperature to offer optimum protection, whereas fully synthetic oil made by a reputable manufacturer will usually offer optimum protection from the moment it is circulating. £40 a gallon may seem expensive now but your fuel bills will be lower and engine repair bills will be coming in a lot less often. Using cheaper oil will burn up more fuel keeping it circulating as it is usually a heavier grade, and as it offers less protection your engine will wear quicker. The best oil on the market is currently the mobil-1 0w 40 grade fully synthetic, when it was first developed mobil ran a brand new BMW on the rolling road for 1, 000, 000 miles using the mobil 1 oil with oil changes and services at the usual intervals, then stripped the engine down and it was still as brand new

Answer 5

Not worth the cost. If you change your oil every 3000 miles any oil in the engine will work fine. The engine will outlast the rest of the car every time.
They say synthetic oil will last a long time but what about the filter. You still need to change the filter, so you may as well change the oil too and stick with mineral oil and save some money.

Answer 6

It outperforms mineral oils in all respects. The Auto service reminder on a Merc gives you another 5000 miles between services with Castrol Edge. So it is in fact the cheapest option. I used to test motor oils and would only buy the oil companies, big names and Morris's products. This does not include products badged for car manufacturers and retailers, although for all I know some are as good as any.

Answer 7

To understand synthetic motor oils, let’s look first at the origins of all motor oils.

Conventional oils come from crude oil that is pumped from the ground. Crude oil is made up of a complex mixture of molecules that form chains and rings of different sizes and shapes. Long chains of carbon atoms produce a thick, viscous fluid that flows slowly. Shorter chains produce fluid that flows more readily.

In an oil refinery, crude oil is separated into various fractions. These become the basis for lubricating oils and fuels. Thick tangled masses of carbon chains become asphaltic materials used in roofing tar and road work. Very short chains and ring compounds of carbon are volatile and can be refined to produce gasoline and other products.

While petroleum refining is an advanced science, small amounts of contaminants, such as sulfur and reactive hydrocarbons, cannot be completely removed from petroleum, and may end up in motor oil base stocks.

All motor oils are made up of base oils and additives. In general, fully synthetic motor oils contain non-conventional, high-performance fluids. Synthetic blends usually use some non-conventional, high-performance fluids in combination with conventional oil.

To meet the demanding requirements of today's specifications (and our customers' expectations), Mobil 1® uses high-performance fluids, including polyalphaolefins (PAOs), along with a proprietary system of additives. Each Mobil 1 viscosity grade uses a unique combination of synthetic fluids and selected additives in order to tailor the viscosity grade to its specific application.

heres a shorter answer... HEHE

do not, REPEAT do not put synthetic in a 1994 diesel dodge!!

it will eat away at the seals.
but synthetic is okay.
WE USE regular oil.

Answer 9

It lubricates better and you get better gas mileage and can go doule the mileage between oil changes.
