Why is it possible to extend the synthetic oil change interval?

It’s generally understood that the synthetic oil change interval can be extended compared to regular oils; but what should the correct synthetic oil change interval be?

We all understand that we need to change oil: Whether it’s in the chip fryer or in our car engines! But What is the correct synthetic oil change interval? And why does it need changing in our cars?

Industrial synthetic oils can solve problems that regular oils can’t.

Although mineral lubricants can work in many applications industrial synthetic oils can solve problems that these oils were never designed to cope with. Whenever there’s a problem with a piece of industrial equipment that touches on lubrication, the smart money inevitably believes that industrial synthetic oils can solve problems. But what are the facts? What can reasonably be expected of the performance of synthetic industrial oils?

The explanation of what is synthetic motor oil.

What is synthetic motor oil? Everyone should know that it’s an artificial oil! Well; right and wrong. Strange it may seem there are also mineral lubricants that are classified as synthetic motor oils.

Synthetic base stocks are man-made and tailored to have a controlled molecular structure with predictable properties, unlike mineral base oils, which are complex mixtures of naturally occurring hydrocarbons.

How is the classification of base oils used in lubricants made?

The API classification of base oils used in lubricants is the most important determinant of an oil’s performance: But how is the classification of the base stock oils made? In order to fully understand base oil definition we also have to look at the evolution of lubricant base oils.

Selecting the correct synthetic gear oil viscosity is critical in optimising performance.

Selecting the correct synthetic gear oil viscosity is a key factor in selecting the best synthetic gear oil. In the previous article we’ve looked the benefits of selecting the correct synthetic gear oil for the application; however this would be meaningless if we didn’t explain the importance of selecting the correct synthetic gear oil viscosity.

Why you need to use the best the best synthetic gear oil in industrial gearboxes.

As the world changes consumers are beginning to understand the value of using the best synthetic gear oil. There are several reasons for using the best synthetic gear oil in your industrial transmission system.

As manufacturers continue to push the limits of machine performance to increase productivity, reduce downtime and energy costs, suppliers need to offer increasingly creative solutions. Interestingly, one of the most effective ways to achieve these performance levels is also one most frequently overlooked: proper lubrication.

Can you use synthetic motor oil in an older VW engines?

It seems as if everyone is asking: “can I use synthetic motor oil in an older VW”? The real question actually applies to any older vehicle that’s grown old on a diet of regular engine oil.
