10 Falsehoods Of Synthetic Oil Dismissed
There are many misconceptions about synthetic lubricants and oils. Some people won’t even use one in their engine as they think it will void their warranty. This is of concourse untrue. In this article you will find this and 9 other falsehoods about synthetic oil:
1) Synthetic lubricants cause vehicles to consume more oil.
As long as the engine is in proper working order and does not have any leaks, synthetic lubricants will not cause an engine to use more oil; in fact it is quite the opposite. Due to the properties of synthetics, your engine will benefit from enhanced sealing between piston rings and cylinder walls.
2) Synthetic lubricant is not compatible with petroleum products.
Today synthetic lubricant is completely compatible with petroleum oil. However in the early days of synthetic lubricant production some manufactures did use ingredients that were not compatible, however those dark days are long gone.
3) Synthetic oils cost too much.
Multiple tests have been performed on both synthetic oils and petroleum based oils and the results have found that synthetics provide better fuel economy and reduce engine wear. The minimum up-front price difference between synthetic and petroleum oils are nothing in comparison to the overall cost savings that you will benefit from with lower gas mileage and repair costs.
4) Synthetic oil is not easily accessible.
In the early days of synthetics this may have been the case, but now with every major oil company having their own line of synthetic oil they are much easier to find. From the Wal-Mart to the your local service station down the street, you are bound to find a wide range of synthetic oils.
5) Synthetic lubricants damage seals.
Seal damage is a concern for both petroleum and synthetic lubricant companies. Because of the materials that seals are made from, additives must be added to the lubricant to prevent damage occurring events such as seal swell, shrinkage and hardening.
6) Synthetic lubricant produces a lot of sludge.
Synthetic lubricant is designed to reduce the occurrence of sludge and is in fact much cleaner than petroleum oil, which can contain many different impurities that bind together once heated to produce sludge.
7) Synthetic lubricant will not work in vehicles that use oxygen sensors.
Petroleum and synthetic lubricants are comprised of similar compounds, all of which are not damaging to oxygen sensors. Since synthetics tend to run cleaner, the oxygen sensors will actually perform better.
Synthetic oils void manufacture warranties.
Some major vehicle manufacturers actually specify that synthetic oils be used in their engines. In fact, some of the higher end vehicle manufactures are filling their engines with synthetic oil right off the factory floor.
9) Synthetic lubricants last a lifetime.
Unfortunately just like any petroleum lubricant, synthetic lubricant also needs to be changed. Combustible engines are hard on any lubricant, contaminating it with acids, soot and moisture, which will disrupt the lubricant’s viscosity.
10) Synthetic oil is too thin.
When it comes to oil it is all about the viscosity. Whether the oil is a petroleum product or a synthetic one, in order to be classified under the SAE grade it has to meet a certain viscosity. In other words, a 10W-30 oil is the exact same in regards to viscosity whether it is made from a petroleum product or a synthetic one.
