When choosing synthetic oil over regular mineral oil it's worth remembering that mineral oils have been around for a long time and function very well as lubricants in most industrial applications. During the construction process there were between 2,000 and 4,000 construction workers on the site at any one time, which generated around $40m-50m in sales taxes for the Parish of St John the Baptist where the refinery is based.

Vegetable oil - Castor oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil. Animal oils - Lard oil, Tallow oil, Whale oil. Based on lubricant Physical State. Mineral based - Petroleum fractions. The additives lower the pour point either by forming a thin coating over wax and prevent it from agglomerisation or co precipitate along with wax , thus reducing the freezing point. Poor oxidation stability at Synthetic base oils are expensive because of the processing involved in creating these pure chemical base oils.
