      Synthetic oil became widely available for consumers in our lifetime. It offers superior lubricating performance and longevity.

      So now we don’t have to change it out nearly as often.

      So that’s a small comfort.

        I understand synthetic oil is nearly as good as whale oil for lubricating. I also understand that whale oil is still used in space craft and F1 race cars because it’s still the absolute best for the purpose.
