1 Answers
Full synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil can be distinguished by the following methods: 1. The manufacturer's packaging on the bottle will indicate "synthetic" or "synthetic technology" for semi-synthetic oil, while "full synthetic" is labeled for full synthetic oil; 2. Full synthetic oil is a blend of Group III, IV, and V base oils, whereas semi-synthetic oil consists of Group III base oils. Compared to semi-synthetic oil, full synthetic oil has the following characteristics: 1. Better high and low-temperature performance; 2. Longer oil change intervals; 3. Suitable for more severe driving conditions. Synthetic oil is manufactured through chemical synthesis by humans, and depending on the intended use, its composition can be adjusted accordingly.
