How Does Synthetic Motor Oil Increase Fuel Economy?
Synthetic Oils have been ahead of the game for years, in production, performance and efficiency. But why? It comes down to the production of the oil and how it interacts with your engine. The best synthetic oils have taken years of research, development and testing and become far more advanced as engine technology advanced as well.
What makes synthetic oil?
A synthetic oil is exactly that, it has all of the properties of a mineral oil, but manufactured to reach new levels in flow, viscosity, efficiency, performance and last but not least, mileage.
It effectively does the same thing as a blend or mineral oil, but better in every way. And that’s the goal right?
But, synthetic oils are stripped of their impurities and instead supplemented with additives (that have names far too long to include in our word count). These additives help the flow of the oil, make it less susceptible to clogging and failure and much more receptive to sudden changes in the engine. In performance vehicles, strictly synthetic oil should be used to get the most out of your high-revving, high-power engines. Synthetic oils also have no wax content in them. Wax content in mineral oils helps when the engine is heated up to produce better flow and efficiency, but only after the engine has reached running temperature.
