The Difference between Synthetic oil and Conventional oil

The difference between synthetic oil and conventional oil is in the manufacturing process and raw materials used to manufacture the finished product.

Conventional oils that people are most familiar with, is refined from crude oil to separate the light oil components from the heavy ones. Basically filtering out as much unwanted molecules as possible.  After the refining process some unwanted molecules still linger in the product that is acceptable for sale as new clean oil in layman's terms.

Crude oil which conventional oils are made of contain sulfur, nitrogen and other elements that invite the formation of sludge and other products of lubrication breakdown.

Synthetic oil is not refined from crude oil like conventional oil but chemically engineered from pure chemicals that gives them significant advantages over refined oils.  Fully synthetic oil starts with feed stocks that do not contain sulfur, nitrogen or other elements that invite the formation of sludge and other products of lubrication breakdown.

Synthetic oil differs from refined oil in three key ways; they are pure, their molecular structure is uniform, and they may be designed to work in applications in which refined oils cannot. 

Being pure, uniform and designable they exhibit:

  • improved energy efficiency
  • wider operating temperature range

  • increased design ratings

  • reduced maintenance

  • better reliability and safer operation

Because synthetic molecules are pure they are able to withstand higher temperatures and are
more resistant to breakdown. The molecules do not contain impurities that contribute to the
breakdown process.

Because synthetics molecules are uniform they resist thinning, provide a smooth molecular
structure unlike crude oil, which ensures low friction as lubrication layers slide across one
another which helps synthetic resist thinning in heat and thickening in cold leading to better
protection than conventional oils.

Because synthetic molecules are designable they can be designed for use in any
application. They can be tailored to ensure long life and better protection than conventional oils resulting in long life, peak performance, power and fuel economy for any lubricated system.  There is a synthetic oil or grease formulated for any application that needs lubrication, even motorcycle oil and 2-stroke engines.

Due to the precise molecular engineering of synthetics they exhibit:

  • High-Temperature Protection and Performance
  • Cold-Temperature Protection and Performance
  • Increased Efficiency
  • Longer Engine and Equipment Life
  • Extended Lubricant Drain Interval
  • A More Diverse Product Line
