Engine Oils . Castrol Power 1 Racing - Fully Synthetic Racing Engine Oil

Engine Oils

Motor oil or engine oil is an oil used for lubrication of various internal combustion engines. The main function is to lubricate moving parts; it also cleans, inhibits corrosion, improves sealing, and cools the engine by carrying heat away from moving parts.
 Generally the engine oils are classified under three categories,
  • Mineral type
  • synthetic type
  • Semi Synthetic type 


Besides that there are lot of standards followed world wide ( JASO, API, etc..,) regarding the manufacturing and usage of engine oils for different type of engines according to usage, the climatic conditions and other factors. We here don't want to get deep about the types and usage of engine oils.

Mineral type:

The mineral type of engine oils are the cheapest among the three categories. This type of engine oil is manufactured from the refining of petroleum in oil refineries and in petrochemical industries. They are purely derived from the fossil fuels like crude oil. 

Synthetic type:

The synthetic type are the costliest among the three categories. They are manufactured artificially. Synthetic oil is used as a substitute for lubricant refined from petroleum when operating in extremes of temperature, because, in general, it provides superior mechanical and chemical properties than those found in traditional mineral oils.


Semi-synthetic Type:

Semi synthetic type is a blend of both synthetic and mineral oil types in some definite proportions. Semi-synthetic oils (also called 'synthetic blends') are blends of mineral oil with no more than 30% synthetic oil. Designed to have many of the benefits of synthetic oil without matching the cost of pure synthetic oil.

The synthetic type are formulated specially for high performance engines...
