Image via WikipediaWhat has his research revealed? Primarily, he has found that, although synthetics are not a good fit for everyone, overall synthetic motor oils offer benefits that petroleum-based motor oils do not. Because synthetics are engineered in a lab specifically for lubrication, as opposed to being refined from crude oil, they do not have the impurities that petroleum-based oils have. They are more pure and stable and as a result many benefits accrue. They need fewer additives to fight negative characteristics, such as contaminants. The additives they do have are used up more slowly. This means they more strongly retain the qualities needed in a motor oil for longer periods - qualities such as heat control, friction reduction and engine deposit reduction.What does this mean for you, the consumer? If you are willing to use synthetic motor oil, it means a couple of things. First, it means longer intervals between oil drains-which means you will save money on oil and oil changes. It also means extended engine life, and therefore extended vehicle life-longer, higher-quality lubrication of your engine means your car will last longer.
With the price of cars where it is today, The Motor Oil Bible is an invaluable resource for the consumer looking to learn about motor oil and its use-find it today if you want to learn more about this topic.
