Can Manual Transmission Cars Use Fully Synthetic Oil?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars can use fully synthetic oil. Introduction to Fully Synthetic Oil: Fully synthetic oil is manufactured through chemical processes that decompose various natural substances and then synthesize them with other materials. The advantages of fully synthetic oil include high cleanliness, strong fluidity, effective cooling performance, excellent oxidation resistance, and a longer replacement interval, typically around 1 year or 10,000 kilometers. Vehicles with turbocharged engines are recommended to use fully synthetic oil. Introduction to Semi-Synthetic Oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of synthetic oil and mineral oil, with a ratio of 4:6 between mineral oil and synthetic oil. The characteristics of semi-synthetic oil include the benefits of synthetic oil while being more affordable than fully synthetic oil. However, its performance is inferior to fully synthetic oil in all aspects, with the only advantage being its lower price. The replacement interval is also slightly shorter than that of fully synthetic oil, around 7,000-8,000 kilometers or 8 months. Semi-synthetic oil is more suitable for naturally aspirated engines.
