synthetic oil can withstand high temperature and is a better lubricant.

1.Reduce friction and prevent wear and heat, by means of which the oil forms a thin layer (oil film) to prevent direct contact with the metal surface of the metal.

2.As the cooling medium, by absorbing heat from the parts that got lubrication and then bringing as  well as transfer to the cooling system.

3.As a cleaning agent, namely by removing the dirt on engine parts.

4.Prevent rust on engine parts.

5.Prevent the leakage of combustion gases.

6.As an intermediary oxidation.

Fossil based lubricants tend to degrade its molecular structure forming sludge after cooling from during extended periods of heavy duty performance. The advantage of synthetic lubricants retain their molecular structure across a wide temperature range.

synthetic oil is better than conventional oil when it comes to its form and function. Conventional oil could never stand up to synthetic when it comes to longevity and ability to handle extreme high temperatures without breaking down.

The main advantages of using synthetic oil are :

 Avoid carbon contamination , Gearbox higher life time   

High Temperature performance , high and law degree

Cost Reduction - Fife Times Mineral oil

The benefits of synthetic oils relate to the molecules' stable nature and include a higher degree of hydrolytic stability and demulsibility, a higher viscosity index (VI) and a lower pour point. The VI and pour point allow these oils to perform better across a broader temperature range.
