What is the difference between mineral oil and synthetic oil?
1 Answers
Synthetic oil and mineral oil differ in the following ways: 1. Different compositions: Synthetic oil is fully synthesized, while mineral oil is based on petroleum-refined mineral oil with added additives. 2. Different applicable vehicle types: Synthetic oil is suitable for vehicles with turbocharging technology, while mineral oil is suitable for vehicles with lower emission requirements. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, can be categorized based on usage conditions: 1. Diesel engine oil: Selected according to the total mechanical and thermal load of the vehicle engine and the severity of engine operating conditions. 2. Gasoline engine oil: Chosen based on the severity of engine operating conditions, additional devices in the vehicle's intake and exhaust systems, and the production year.
