Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. In addition to being made from different source materials, synthetic lubricants can also be produced from complete crude oil by utilising chemically altered petroleum components. But the majority of the starting material is still crude oil, which is distilled before being physically and chemically altered. Synthetic lubricants are engineered to provide superior performance characteristics compared to conventional mineral-based lubricants.
