What Qualities Make the Best Synthetic Oil?
11:20 PM
The best synthetic oil can be defined as oil which proves to be an optimum blend of additives and base compound and fulfills all the requirement of the consumer. The sudden increase in demand and popularity of synthetic oil is because of their trait of adaptability, that scientists can synthesize an optimum blend in laboratory which can meet the needs of the consumer. Researchers should first identify various consumer groups and classify them on the basis of their needs, in this way they can develop a product that can be called as the best synthetic oil.
Synthetic oils were intended only for a small market, high-tech cars and audience (NASCAR), but due to environmental awareness movements, a researchers and developers felt they should find and promote new technology that is both efficient and eco-friendly and thus the sudden emergence of synthetic oils in everyday market.
In order to develop synthetic oil that gives best performance, we need to choose a base (which is almost 80 to 90% of the whole solution) which naturally possesses the best properties. Then comes the role of choosing additives. They are very important as they are used as performance boosters of the base stock. The more intensive research and development is done, the more optimized and functional blend we will get. Some desired characteristics in the synthetic oil that then maybe termed as the best oil are:
• Optimum viscosity index. They generally exhibit multi-viscous tendencies implying that they will work just fine over a wide range of temperature.
• Free from impurities. Impurities increase the thickness of oil that decreases its fluidity, particularly in low temperatures and thus compromising its lubricating functionality. Synthetics are free from impurities to a great extent, as they are synthesized in a laboratory, and their base particles exhibit uniformity in size and mass.
• Low volatility. This helps in reducing oil consumption and emissions to the atmosphere.
Pure base stock directly results in many other desirable traits such as low heat generation due to less friction amongst base particles, stability of oil at high temperatures.
Viscosity is very important for identifying the best oil, using the wrong viscosity grade oil can result in decreased lubrication and thus decreased efficiency.
We can safely say that the best synthetic oil is the one which has the base stock with the best natural properties plus an optimum blend of additives which boosts the natural property of the base stock and which exhibits the desired and broad viscosity range and is environment and pocket friendly at the same time.
