Synthetic Oil Vs Mineral Oil | Which Ones The Betters?

Motor oil has a basic function as a lubricant to reduce friction and wear of a number of internal components of the machine that works and move when the life of the vehicle engine. Lubricants that operate according to their function effectively prolongs the life of the engine makes it more resistant duration.

Motor oil is used not only as a lubricant, but also as a cooling, anti rust, slot machines and machines for cleaning closing. A good lubricant should be able to carry out a performance of the engine lighter and serves as a protection component metal layer of friction caused by the friction constant in time.

From simple ingredients, is a common circuit engine oil into two types, namely the sections:

1. Petroleum (base oil) can be obtained by additives mining, oil and oil, and treated to improve the quality of lubricants for the best.
2. Synthetic oil (synthetic oil) produces synthetic oil is usually Polyalphaolifins up on the clean side of the separation of oil, gas. This compound is then mixed with mineral oil. Therefore, synthetic oil with mineral oil and vice versa can be mixed.The base is stable. Basically synthetic oil is designed to produce a more effective than mineral oil.

Synthetic oil vs Mineral
Advantages over synthetic mineral oil:

• More stable at high temperatures (less volatile), so that the level of low evaporation
• Control / prevent the deposition of carbon on the machine
• Circulation more easily at the beginning of the time of the time morning / cold
• Lubrication and friction coating of the metal better and prevents between the metal resulting in engine failure
• Resistant to change / oxidation and therefore more durable, making it more economical and efficient
• Reduce friction and increase power and engine cooling
• With a detergent are better for membersihkanmesin of minerals kerakOli usually purified from synthetic oil, while the mixture of chemical substances.

The materials are usually synthetic oil PAO (polyalphaolefin). Synthetic oil is recommended in general for the latest technology (turbo engines, compressors, DOHC, etc.) are also in need of better lubrication (Racing), where the gap between supply / metal / close / precision where only synthetic oil for coating , and can be perfectly smooth.

So for the machines produced in 2001 and is especially good a good synthetic oil semi-synthetic-type (mixed with mineral oil) or use fully synthetic.

Oil Prices - Semi Synthetic - Synthetic Full
Fully synthetic oil costs twices - 4 times more expensive than the semi-synthetic, while
Semi-synthetic oil can cost twices more expensive than mineral oil.
