Iata ce zice si un AI, confirma ce ati zis voi:
are the synthetic oil molecules smaller than a mineral ones?
Yes — synthetic oil molecules are generally smaller, more uniform, and more consistent than mineral oil molecules.
But let’s get a bit more technical to explain why that matters.
Molecular Structure: Synthetic vs. Mineral Oil
Mineral Oil (Conventional Oil)
Derived directly from crude oil through distillation and refining.
Contains a wide range of hydrocarbon molecule sizes and shapes — some long, some short, some branched, some ring-shaped.
This irregularity leads to:
Less predictable performance
More oxidation and sludge formation
Less stability at extreme temperatures
Synthetic Oil
Engineered in a lab to have consistent molecular size and structure.
Molecules are typically:
Smaller and more uniform
Designed for specific performance characteristics
Free of impurities found in mineral oils (e.g. sulfur, waxes)
Conclusion
Synthetic oil molecules are more uniform and often smaller, giving them superior flow, protection, and stability.
This molecular precision is one of the main reasons synthetic oil outperforms mineral and semi-synthetic oils.
Clar in cazul meu, motorul fiind de tehnologie mai veche si cu multi kilometri si ore de functionare, uleiul sintetic va fi consumat.
Am inteles explicatia si ma bucur ca motorul nu are nimic ,in afara de uzura specifica varstei.
