Which is better for your car, mineral oil or synthetic oil?

 Car oil is one of the main factors that increase the life span of the engine, so we must pay special attention to it, and with the invention of new types of oils such as synthetic oil, some people are wondering .. which is better .. mineral oil or synthetic oil

The German Quality Control Authority “ TÜV Nord ” answered this question, confirming that synthetic oil contains many characteristics that distinguish it in terms of viscosity and high temperature tolerance compared to mineral oil, but this type of oil is expensive, as it is produced through a group of The improved materials are known as “additives”, while mineral oil is inexpensive and the method for its production is based on refined oil.

It is reported that these additives form a layer of special hydrocarbon compounds on the viscosity layer that protects it from disintegration when the engine is running at high and low temperatures.

As for the viscosity ratio, synthetic oil is superior to mineral oil in its efficiency when starting the engine, as well as when loads are increased on the engine. It also has the advantage of maintaining the engine and increasing its life span.

It is worth noting that the engine without the viscosity layer present in the oil, the heat of its parts will increase by a large percentage, and the reason for this is due to direct contact and friction, which speeds up its wear, and the oil acts as an anti-rust material between the engine parts.
