What is synthetic oil?

Since synthetic oils contain more refined base oils than ordinary mineral oils, they provide exceptional protection and performance in the engine. Synthetic motor oils offer a variety of benefits that keep engines running at optimum performance for years. To understand synthetic motor oils, it is necessary to look at the origin of motor oil. There are basically two types of engine oil:

  • Ordinary mineral oils are conventional oils.
  • Synthetic oils are becoming increasingly popular.

Both types of oil are produced from crude oil. Since synthetic oils go through more advanced refining processes, they have higher purity and quality than ordinary mineral oils. This not only allows more impurities to be removed from the oil, but also makes it possible to shape the molecules in the oil according to the needs of today's engines. Specially shaped molecules provide higher levels of protection and performance.
