00:00Synthetic motor oils. They appeared thanks to developments in Germany and the USA,
00:05and the biggest breakthrough in this field was made during World War II,
00:08when the needs of military aviation required new solutions in the chemical industry.
00:12It was at that time that the first synthetic oil formulations were created,
00:16capable of withstanding high loads and the extreme operating conditions of engines.
00:20After the war, such oils began to be gradually introduced into the automotive industry,
00:24and today they are used in almost all modern cars. Compared to mineral oils,
00:28synthetic ones have a whole range of advantages. They are more resistant to temperature fluctuations,
00:34lose their properties more slowly, provide better engine protection, and increase its lifespan.
