The performance of synthetic engine oils is more reliable, especially in areas such as circulation at low temperatures, stability at high temperatures, and protection against residue accumulation. With these features, it can help reduce engine wear, reduce fuel consumption and extend engine life.
Synthetic oils were developed to cope with the extreme conditions inside today's engines. It flows much more freely than ordinary mineral oils. The biggest benefit of this is that the engine is much better protected. When the engine is first started, it takes time for the mineral oil to circulate, which causes the oil-free parts to wear out by friction. Synthetic oil enters circulation immediately and protects all moving parts inside the engine.
Synthetic motor oils can also reduce fuel consumption. During the warm-up phase of a typical truck trip, lubricants move slower because they are thicker, causing the engine to operate at lower efficiency and consume more fuel. On the other hand, synthetic oils circulate much faster, allowing the engine to reach its maximum efficiency faster. Another advantage of synthetic oil is that it is cleaner and causes fewer emissions than ordinary mineral oils.
