In general, synthetic oil has better high and low temperature performance, and synthetic motor oils are usually formulated with higher performing additives. There is still a performance difference amongst different synthetics. For example, synthetic oil that is made from natural gas, via a gas-to-l...
Regular motor oil is made with a naturally occurring compound and innately features natural impurities. To create synthetic motor oil, artificial chemicals are introduced to help eliminate those natural impurities, theoretically increasing the longevity of the oil at a microscopic level. ...
The U.S. then began outsourcing manufacturing in the 1960s and '70s, which led to a stronger reliance on foreign-made goods. Industry leadership and federal organizations agree that the country is in dire need of increased self-reliance and a revival of the American machining industry in the...

Posted under Motor Oil Today’s vehicles deliver more performance than ever, as each year’s models bring new features for safety and convenience. (Wireless phone charging, anyone?) But your vehicle is still a complex machine that needs to be actively maintained. And that all starts with ...
It burns up oil. Longer time leaving your engine running causes more motor oil to be circulated and burned up. This will cost you more money due to more frequent oil changes. It is bad for the environment. Your exhaust system produces emissions into the air and contributes to air pollution...
Common marine low-speed engines have been designed to burn heavy fuel oil (HFO) or marine gas oil (MGO). HFO is produced from residuals of the crude oil refining process and, therefore, contains higher values of inorganic components, such as sulphur, ash, and metals as well as organic com...
The compressor is the main mechanical part of the system with internal workings that must be lubricated by PAG oil (synthetic).SPONSORED LINKSOn hybrid engines or electric vehicles the compressor is electrically powered by the vehicle's battery pack. A small electric motor is fitted inside of ...
Each year, 11 million metric tons of plastics, primarily made from fossil fuels, find their way into our oceans. This is equivalent to a continuous oil spill happening globally, every day. Effects of Plastic Pollution The Albatross is one of the most affected species, now critically ...
If you keep a cold chisel sharp and add a drop of oil to its edge before you cut, you’ll be amazed at how well it chops metal.
