Gaurav Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks Barry for putting out in nice words, what I was avoiding to say without having any technical knowledge but just based on end-user experience. Second good point I also like to mention about the heat resistant is the main key for any engine oil to live or die in offroad extreme usage. The third point of that debate of winter/summer month has too little as engine inside temperature is far above 150 degrees and I'm sure at 6k rpm during off-roading same engine oil must be cooking at 200+ degree. So with those temperature Synthetic oil stand a better chance of survival than the mineral blends. And also provide consistent lubrication to all engine part when under extreme stress. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, because all the molecules are the same size, which means that all the molecules in the oil share the load equally- which is not the case with even the best mineral oil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mike Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Correct, hence don't bother with semi-synthetics where it could be literally 2% syn and 98% mineral, fork out a little more and go full synthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdude Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Thats true the stupid BMW V8 I have in my range rover runs hot like brick oven and mineral oil in it will be cooked to a crisp. Use to wonder why only strictly full synthetic oil is listed as a must for it. Last time I buy anything with BMW, BMW engineering my ass!

hAwX Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 fully synthetic and semi-synthetic motor oil. Apart from the price and synthetic/mineral content, whats the difference? like what does it do to the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
