What is the difference between synthesized engine oil and mineral engine oil?
Class:Tech service Date:2016/7/4 15:16:33
Mineral oil is extracted from crude oil. When gasoline, kerosene, diesel and heavy oil are distilled off from crude oil, a large amount of residual elements are used to refine mineral oil, which is the most important component of engine oil, gear oil, etc. (commonly known as crude oil). Engine oil is produced using this mineral oil and added some chemical additives, can be called "mineral base oil." Because mineral oil is extracted from natural products, it contains a lot of impurities, and these impurities will reduce the performance of the oil.
Synthetic oil is different, it is a chemical method from naphtha and other raw materials into. Compared to mineral oil, it contains almost no impurities and has better properties, including viscosity and extreme heat resistance. Due to the high performance and high quality of synthetic oil, it is often used in equipment requiring the highest performance.
An oil made by mixing mineral oil and synthetic oil is called "partially synthetic oil."
