Whats the difference between conventional petroleum motor oils and synthetic motor oils?
Answer Conventional motor oils are refined from crude oil which is pumped from within the earth. The refining process, however does not remove any of the impurities Inherent in the crude oil. These impurities detract from the lubricating ability of the oil and contribute to deposit, sludge and varnish formation. Amsoil synthetic motor oils are constructed in a laboratory and contain no impurities. Amsoil synthetic motor oils have uniform molecular structures and are designed for specific lubricating applications. They are not affected by the high temperatures or demanding operation conditions of modern engines.
