Synthetic oil can break down due to high temperatures, oxidation, and contamination from dirt, debris, or fuel. Over time, exposure to heat can cause the oil to lose its viscosity and protective properties. Additionally, the presence of acids or impurities can accelerate the degradation process, leading to reduced performance and potential engine wear. Regular oil changes and maintenance help mitigate these effects.

What happens if you drive an additional 2000 miles past what is recommended for an oil change?

Oil breaks down & becomes less viscous. This leads to premature engine wear. Try good synthetic oil, longevity is better.


Why is Synethetic oil better compared to motor oil?

Well put in somewhat normal terms, the main reason that Synthetic oil is better than conventional comes down to the molecular build of it. Synthetic oil has lots of little molecules built up to make big molecules, where as conventional only has big ones. So when the oil gets really hot and wears down, the conventional breaks down faster due to the solid large molecules. Synthetics big molecules just break down into smaller ones, therefore extending the performance/protection of it.

What kind of oil can use can you use synthetic oil?

synthetic oil will never break down, it will get dirty and need changed but will never break down and result in engine failure. I was involved in an oil study back in the 1990's when I work for a company in Houston that builds oil drilling equipment. We tested all types of oil. synthetic oil is the best lubricant by far.

Why use synthetic motor oil?

synthetic motor oil doesn't break down nearly as fast as conventional oil it also can have greater lubrication and anti rust protection.


Why use synthetic or semi synthetic motorcycle?

It doesn't break down as fast as conventional motor oil. It is engineered to lubricated, keep heat down and last longer.
