What is so great about synthetics?
The major benefit of using synthetics is extended product life. Due to their resistance to breakdown, the interval between oil change outs can be increased. This allows for more unit production time and increases productivity. Also, the superior lubrication properties of synthetics in relation to mineral oil results in less wear and thus longer unit life. When considering synthetics, a detailed analysis of the total costs associated with oil change-outs must be conducted. Energy costs are usually reduced with the use of synthetics.
