Is Mobil 2000 a Fully Synthetic Oil?
1 Answers
Mobil 2000 is an upgraded semi-synthetic oil, essentially a high-grade mineral oil, which differs significantly from fully synthetic oil. Below are the key differences between them: 1. Product Nature: Semi-synthetic oil is a refined product based on mineral oil through hydrocracking technology, consisting of a 4:6 ratio of mineral oil to fully synthetic oil. Fully synthetic oil is a high-grade lubricant derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or crude oil, undergoing complex chemical reactions like polymerization and catalysis to form a lubricant with large molecular structures. 2. Performance Differences: Semi-synthetic oil contains a smaller percentage of high-performance fluids and includes traditional mineral oil. Fully synthetic oil consists of 100% non-traditional, high-performance fluids.
