Synthetic oils are taking the automobile market by storm. More and more, especially man-made products are now stealing market share away from the natural or conventional products. But are synthetic oils new? When were synthetic motor oils introduced?
First of all, most synthetics are actually "semi-synthetics." They have a little bit of conventional oil in them. The first "semi-synthetic" motor oil was introduced in 1966. Thus, these semi-synthetic oils have been around for half a century. Why are synthetic oils so popular today?
The ingredients have become so refined in modern semi-synthetic oils that you can basically "customize" the semi-synthetic to any function you need. It is almost like having your own special clothes designer. The semi-synthetic oils are now "designer, customized" lubricating solutions for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs.
