editorial in latest C&D (Oct, Nov?) on synth oil Posted by MJM [Email] (#872) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MJM) on Tue, 03 Oct 2000 13:06:06 In Reply to: I agree, semi synth would be a waste., Bryan C., Tue, 03 Oct 2000 11:34:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Apparantly one of the oil companies has shifted from a full synthetic base to one based on 'seasoned' (my word) dino oil, and now markets it as full synthetic. Mobil 1 was mentioned as remaining fully sythetic.
I'm not up on the chemistry enough to remember the details of the article or to understand the differences in the manufacturing processes between the 'regular' synthetic and this new stuff. The article did mention that this new process is about half the cost (to the refiner) of 'regular' synthetic, but no, per a company rep, the price won't be lowered.
As the article states, recently the definition of 'is' was monkeyed with, now the definition of 'sythetic' is going the same route.
