The Synthetic Oil Revolution: Made in America By: Greg Johnson

Old Habits are hard to break!!!! You can not teach an old dog new tricks!!!! These are a couple of adages that apply to the use of oil verses Synthetic Lubricants in our cars, trucks and any other motorized vehicles we own.

For the past 100 years or so the standard oil change drain interval has been established at 3000 miles. This standard, established by the petroleum industry, the automobile industry and our automotive mechanics has worked fairly well. The real reason for frequent oil changes are the chemical changes to the oil itself , depletion of the additives and the effects of oxidation and heat Oil is black when you change it because its molecules have broken down and lost their ability to function. As oil breaks down and loses its ability to lubricate then damage begins to occur to your engines moving parts, including its crankshaft, bearings, cylinder walls, rings and gearboxes and any other moving part.

When the proper lubricant is lacking the result is failure of that part.

To avoid this problem OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturers) accepted the 3000 miles drain interval as the standard because of the rapid deterioration of motor oils. Thus giving the consumer the feeling that this is the best formula for maintaining their vehicle. Most motor oils will provide protection past 3000 miles but that number has been ingrained into our minds and has become a habit.

Synthetic Oils have been in the developmental stages since 1877 when C. Friedlander and JM Crafts synthesized the first synthetic hydrocarbons. Over the next 130 years chemists have developed new processes for the commercial application of synthetic lubricants. Over these years such familiar companies as Standard Oil, Union Carbide, National Carbide and Texaco have produced synthetic fluids. The Germans under Adolph Hitler had a major synthetic fuel and oil program because of their dependence on imported oil.

How does it work? Synthetics contain only uniform smooth lubricating molecules that easily slide across one another and are not affected by extremes in heat and cold. Motor oils have odd shaped, irregular and jagged molecules that do not slip that easily and break down at differing rates. Uniformity helps synthetic oils resist thinning in heat and thickening in cold which protects better in an engines wide temperature operating ranges.

By producing synthetic oils we can manipulate them to provide protection throughout a wide variety of conditions including lubricant viscosity , thermal and oxidative stability, hot and cold temperature fluidity, friction control and volatility which is the boiling off point of the molecules.

Now is the time to join the Synthetic Oil Revolution and help reduce our dependence upon foreign oil imports. Made in America is a strong statement. In 1972 a company was formed with a vision, to provide a better product from what was on the market at the time. They produced the first 25,000 mile drain interval synthetic crankcase oil. They specifically addressed the benefits associated with using synthetic oils. Now with over 35 years of experience they have positioned themselves to provide us with the products that will be the standard for our lubrication needs within the next 10 years. The benefits include Higher Mileage, Longer Drain Intervals, Saving Time, Money the Earth and your Vehicle. Only 2% of the vehicles on the road today use this technology.
