What’s synthetic motor oil made of and is it any better for the planet?
In: 252
Synthetic motor oil is also made from crude oil. It’s called synthetic because it has been chemically altered from its original state, but it’s still (overwhelmingly) made from crude oil. From the standpoint of the planet, synthetic oils are no better than traditional oil because they’re also made from crude, although you don’t have to change your oil as often when you use synthetic.
