Figure 2: Synthetic Lubricant Advantages
Low traction co-efficient and Excellent flowability
lower friction for improved at low temperatures
energy efficiency and better for improved cold
lubrication start-up conditions
Superb oxidation stability High viscosity
and deposit control extend index for a wider
oil life even at high operating range
temperatures
