Synthetic
oil is a lubricant made of manufactured or modified products like
chemically modified petroleum instead of crude oil. In almost all
industries that involve transportation, there is widespread debate
regarding the use of synthetic oil versus the conventional
lubricants. Nevertheless, whether you’re using the lubricant for a
racing ride or for an aircraft, many experts suggest that the real
key is in how you actually use it.
Viscosity
The
most basic term you should know about lubricating vehicles is
viscosity, which stands for the oil’s thickness or semi-fluid
state. Too much viscosity, and your car’s pipes may clog; too
little and you run the risk of rod bearing failure. Make sure that
the viscosity index of the oil you’re using is compatible with your
engine’s
Oil
Change
Sure,
synthetic oil typically lasts a lot longer than the conventional
variety, but unfortunately, many people take this to mean prolonging
their oil even when it’s already clearly dirty. As a matter of
fact, the filth and gunk that accumulate, thanks to your lubricant,
just might hinder your engine’s longevity. It’s still important
to have your oil changed whenever it gets dirty.
No
Experimental Additives
Don’t
rely on any shady ‘miracle formula’ that passes for oil additives
unless you’re absolutely sure that they work. This is because base
oil formulas and the additives in them are already set precisely to
work efficiently together; adding an entirely new compound might, in
fact, actually disrupt that efficiency.
