What does synthetic oil do for my car that regular oil does not?
In: 641
Synthetic oil molecular structure is also smaller, meaning that for engines with tighter tolerances between metal parts, the synthetic oil will do a better job of saturating the surfaces. As engines become more precise in terms of tolerances, there will be an increased dependency on synthetic fluids.
Synthetic oils have greater chemical stability properties, so that they do not break down as quickly under higher heats and tend to remain viable as a lubricant for a longer period of stress time when compared to standard oil.
At least this is how we were trained when I worked in an auto shop back in the day.
