It will not break down or boil off under extreme temperatures like a conventional oil. Plus, special dispersants help keep contaminants in suspension longer, while detergents help keep the engine free of varnish and sludge deposits, prevent carbon buildup, and help neutralize acids. Low Temperature Pumpability and Startability. 76 Synthetic Motor Oil provides superior engine protection under extreme conditions, when it's needed most. 76 Synthetic Motor Oil can continue to flow at very low temperatures, providing pumpability no conventional oil can match.
Oil gets to vital engine parts faster for maximum wear protection.
Of the 1.4 billion gallons of used oil generated each year, an estimated 200 million gallons is simply dumped into sewers and oceans - more than all marine oil spills combined. To help combat this problem, nearly 8,000 collection centers have been established to recycle used motor oil. About 100 million gallons of this oil are re-refined through an extensive cleaning and purification process. Next, diesel fuel and gas oils are removed by vacuum distillation. A third step, which uses a thin-film evaporator operating under a high vacuum, takes out dirt, polymers, heavy metals and other contaminants.
