Synthetic oil. Main advantages

Synthetic oil has significant differences frommineral. The latter is produced from oil and is one of the products of its distillation, as well as, for example, mazut, tar, kerosene, solarium, bitumen, gasoline. Synthetic oil is synthesized from ethylene. This compound is produced from crude oil or from natural gas. It should be noted that this process requires considerable time and energy costs. That's why synthetic oil is much more expensive than mineral oil. In the first, the composition is more precise, which determines the properties better than the second.

Synthetic oil 5w40, for example, has a highthermal and chemical stability. The latter is understood as the practical absence of any transformations of the material (oxidation, for example) during the operation of the motor. Thermal stability is the conservation of viscosity at a certain level over a wide temperature range. This indicator ensures safe starting of the motor in frost. In addition, the thermal stability of the oil provides the highest possible engine protection in high-temperature zones under high loads and at high speeds.

Synthetic oil (pw) is specialmolecular composition, due to which higher penetrating power and fluidity are provided. It should be noted that oiling the engine in this case takes no more than forty or fifty seconds. When using mineral materials, this process can take several tens of minutes at low temperatures.

Synthetic oil is characterized by increasedindex of viscosity, which eliminates the dependence on temperature fluctuations. This allows us to do without additives. They are needed only to prevent the transformation of oil into water without improving the lubricating properties, being, by and large, ballast.

Synthetic oils have good flowabilityat different temperatures. When used, less internal resistance to rotation in the motor is provided, this in turn increases power and reduces fuel consumption.

Synthetic oil has a better penetrating power. As a result, wear of parts is reduced, fuel economy is increased, especially with short runs and frequent cold start.

Synthetic oils provide educationmore durable film on the surfaces of parts subjected to friction. These materials also have high detergent and dispersant properties. Oil channels and the engine itself remain clean from the inside. On the internal surfaces there are no deposits that are characteristic for mineral mixtures. Various precipitates, which are formed during the operation of the motor, dissolve in oil. This prevents the appearance of relatively large particles of dirt, which accelerate the wear of the motor.

An important advantage of synthetic oils is considered to be high resistance to aging. Accordingly, the replacement period is extended.
