full synthetic motor oils Valvoline full synthetic motor oils are high performing, high-quality oils formulated with full synthetic base oils and top tier additives to provide an increased level of performance. All of Valvoline's full synthetic motor oils are API licensed to ensure quality for North American vehicle application.

What Is Conventional Motor Oil? The base oil used in a conventional motor oil is 100% mineral oil which is obtained through the refining of crude oil. Here the crude oil is distilled and cleaned up to produce a high-quality base oil.

Conventional oil, also called mineral oil or regular oil, is an engine oil used for lubrication and greater engine protection. It's a type of engine oil that is manufactured from refined crude oil.

Features and Benefits of Synthetic Oil Manufacturers engineer synthetic motor oil to last longer than conventional oils. Synthetic oils often include additives that help reduce engine wear. Because full synthetic and synthetic blend oils lubricate longer than conventional oil, they have higher price tags.

Are they different colors? New conventional oil is a light caramel color. It has some natural organics, which give it this hue. On the other hand, the pure synthetic oil base is clear.

Conventional oil is made from crude oil that's been refined until it has the right properties for lubricating your engine. However, since it's made from a natural process, there's some natural inconsistency in the structure of conventional oil at the molecular level.

High Temperature Protection: Resists breakdown in the most severe engine environments. Low Temperature Protection: Flows easily at low temperatures, reducing wear at start-up. High Detergency: Fights formation of sludge and varnish deposits that reduce engine life.

Valvoline SAE 85W-140 High Performance Conventional Gear Oil is the thermally stabile extreme pressure gear lubricant that offers outstanding protection for gearboxes and differentials in passenger cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and heavy-duty trucks.

Benefits To Sticking With Conventional Motor Oil

• More Cost Effective. Obviously, the most immediate benefit to opting for conventional oil over synthetic is the damage you won't be doing to your wallet.
• Easier To Find.
• Better For Older Engines.

Conventional motor oil is refined from crude oil extracted from the ground. Synthetic motor oil, however, is engineered in a lab. As a lubricant, traditional oil features molecules of varying sizes, which means its viscosity index (its ability to flow over a range of temperatures) is less reliable.

Conventional oil production generally refers to the pipe and pump production off a vertical well. This means a hole has been drilled straight down into a deposit and a pump jack is put on it to help pull the deposit to the surface where it can be sent on for further refining.

Conventional oil (also known as crude oil or petroleum) is an organic compound that has developed naturally within the Earth's crust. It is a hydrocarbon, meaning that it is composed primarily of hydrogen and carbon, but often contains traces of other elements, such as nitrogen, sulfur and various metals.
