Can Full Synthetic Engine Oil Be Used for a Year?
1 Answers
Full synthetic engine oil is generally replaced once a year or after driving approximately 10,000 kilometers, meaning it can be used for a year. Below are the specific details about engine oil: 1. Mineral oil: Extracted from crude oil, mineral oil typically has a very low cost. However, since the mineral oil base is prone to oxidation, various imported additives are added to it, giving it a service life of about six months. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Although the refining cost is higher, it offers excellent oxidation resistance, making it a very good long-lasting engine oil with a service life of about twelve months. Considering the balance between price and quality, semi-synthetic oil has the widest range of applications. 3. Full synthetic oil: This is chemically synthesized engine oil that can maintain its lubricating properties even under conditions where the base oil fails.
