> Mineral Oil??? explain what you mean?

Dino oil, refined crude oil, the stuff they dig out of the ground.

as opposed to synthetic oil which is created by a chemical process, much like modern plastics.

mineral oils have a large amount of varying size particles, some are large, some are small, some have a high boiling point, some have a low boiling point (relatively). during typical engine these particles all behave in different ways, some will stick to the walls, some will simply vapourise.

Because synth is made in a chemical process it is all the same. it does exactly what it was created to do, stick to metal parts, flow well at varying temperatures, lubricate bearings.
