[QUOTE="kjones, post: 368864, member: 4533"] A true synthetic oil has no mineral oil base to it. There are however synthetic blends on the market that are a combination of both mineral oil and synthetic oil. These blends supposedly give you the best of both worlds. Synthetics are very good in high heat applications where a mineral based oil would start to have thermal breakdown. This is where the oil molecules start to physically deteriorate prematurely. The down side to synthetic oil beside the higher cost is it doesn't handle moisture as well as mineral oil. For short trips or situations where the oil doesn't get hot enough to evaporate the moisture this can lead to less effective lubrication. [/QUOTE]
