WHICH ENGINE OIL IS BEST SUITED FOR YOUR VEHICLE? SYNTHETIC OR MINERAL?? CHECK OUT THE ANSWER !!!

There are 3 types of motor oil or engine oil used for the lubrication of engine. Engine oil is the most vital and essential one for an engine to function properly. The three types in general are mineral oil - derived from petroleum based products, fully synthetic - completely artificial and synthesized in labs. semi-synthetic- a blend of synthetic and mineral oil in definite proportions. 

Generally an engine oil has many benefits like lubricating the engine, carries away the heat produced during operation, reduces friction, wear and tear of the internal components and keeping the engine clean, free from sludge combustion and carbon deposits.

Synthetic oil is not only refined but also distilled, purified and broken down into its basic molecules. This process not only removes more impurities from the crude oil but also enables individual molecules in the oil to be tailored to the demands of modern engines. These customized molecules provide higher levels of protection and performance than conventional oils. A fully synthetic motor oil or engine oil is widely used in high performance motorcycles and cars. The main advantage of using a fully synthetic engine oil is that it maintains its stability and viscosity (thickness) even at very high temperatures. Hence it protects engine and its components during high speeds and long run. Superbikes in the world like Yamaha R1, Suzuki Hayabusa and MotoGp racing bikes, high performance cars use fully synthetic engine oils.

Fully synthetic engine oils provides better engine protection than any other type of motor oils. The advantages of using a fully synthetic oil is that it provides better engine performance, less engine heating, improved acceleration and more interval of oil change. It lasts longer than mineral and part synthetic oils.

But all this advanced technology doesn't come cheap. A synthetic oil change can cost over twice as much as conventional oil.but is it worth it beyond its obvious better performance characteristics?

This is not exactly a straight yes or no answer to go along with this question as there are several variables to consider, but in general, most experts would agree that synthetic is (for now) the lesser of the two evils.

Their logic stems from the fact that while conventional oil is evil because it is derived from petroleum, synthetics are unfortunately formed by chemicals that are no less harmful to the environment... but there is a difference here. Synthetics can last as much as three times longer than conventional oil.

With todays technology, synthetics are cleaner and meaner (just not necessarily any greener). Their composition is much cleaner, because it is derived in a laboratory rather than nature, and it has been proven to have a lower volatility and therefore not vaporize out the exhaust as quickly.

If you want to be on the safe side, you can follow what your manufacturer recommends as far as oil goes. In general more performance oriented vehicles require synthetic because of the high heat that builds in these engines, whereas conventional engines don't require anything special.
