A comman myth - "Synthetics cause cars to use more oil"
THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- Synthetic motor oils are intended for use in mechanically sound engines, that is, engines that don't leak.
- In such engines, oil consumption will actually be reduced because of the lower volatility of synthetic lubes, better sealing characteristics between piston rings and cylinder walls.
- And finally, because of the superior oxidation stability (i.e. resistance of synthetics against reacting with oxygen at high temperatures.)
