What’s synthetic motor oil made of and is it any better for the planet?
In: 252
If you’re considering synthetic vs refined oil as a “green” choice, you’re splitting hairs while ignoring the bale of wool piled around you.
Owning a gas car at all, is an environmental disaster. Owning an electric car is also an environmental disaster, but it’s considerably less bad, and many Americans are 1000% forced into car ownership by their built environment, so it’s the lesser of two evils.
Not needing a car at all is the #1 choice in this regard. I leave it up to you to figure it out, with the full knowledge that I have personally made it happen in North America for most of my adult life. Yes, it’s absolutely possible, even though I can already hear your panic attack at the very thought of it.
Which oil you buy for a gas car doesn’t even register on the “making a difference” meter. Even just dumping it in a ditch would make no difference when compared to the insane amount of gasoline you burn.
