This is a post to talk about engine oils and motor oils, vital components especially in today’s high performance vehicles and heavy industrial vehicles.
Some might say that any motor oil today, given the high alloy content of the engines themselves, have to be constructed out of synthetic materials. To be honest, they may be right. Naturally occurring oils, or oils that are created from treatment of crude oil, do not necessarily have the right characteristics to perform well under the exacting conditions of today’s engines.
Take this description of the Gulf Formula G OW-30 Motor Oil:
Gulf Formula G 0W-30 has outstanding thermo-oxidative stability reduces deposits & sludge build-up and facilitates extended motor oil & engine life and improved fuel economy and extended drain intervals reduces the cost of ownership. Excellent low temperature fluidity aids quick cold start and provides wear protection at start-up and outstanding Stay-in-Grade performance ensures reliable lubrication even at higher load and operating temperatures. Superior antiwear technology provides excellent wear protection under all conditions and active cleaning agents ensure maximum engine cleanliness.
Similarly, engine oils, which might be suited more to 2-stroke engines, have very exacting specifications, like so for the Gulf Green 2T Engine Oil:
It is blended from premium quality esters and ashless performance additives to provide excellent engine protection and cleanliness in 2-stroke motorcycle/scooter engines even under harsh operating conditions.
