Whenever there’s a problem with a piece of industrial equipment that touches on lubrication, the smart money inevitably turns to synthetic industrial oils. But what are the facts? What can reasonably be expected of the performance of synthetic industrial oils?

Well let’s look at some of the common problems associated with lubrication and which problems synthetic industrial oils can solve.

Due to environmental factors, such as reduced airflow and higher ambient temperatures created by equipment operating in indoors, equipment often suffers from reduced efficiency, increased carbon build-up, sludge and varnish build-up on internal component surfaces.

Synthetic industrial oils are engineered to be more stable at higher
