What is the difference between synthetic motor oil and regular motor oil?

synthetic oil is made in a lab. it has more of a constant viscosity than conventional oil. It adheres better to the parts. Thus being when cold it doesn't thicken as much and when hot it doesn't thin out. It has a higher break down point than conventional oil so it lasts longer. The positive side to this is you don't have to go but maybe ever 5,000 miles between oil changes. The negative side is if you use it in an older vehicle you have more contaminants getting passed your piston rings. Then your just wasting your money on synthetic. Its best to use synthetic in a newer vehicle than an older one.What is the difference between synthetic motor oil and regular motor oil?
regular motor oil is natural not made in labs, synthetic (which i use) is made in a lab where they can more additives to save engine wear...


i also heard that with regular oil if u loose ur oil u will blow ur motor but with synthetic u will not because it leave more of a oily film
