You are living in Saskatoon where the current temperature is -41o C. What happens when you need to suddenly go to the hospital, and your car engine oil is as thick as a jelly which makes it hard for the car to start properly? What’s going to be your first priority changing your petroleum-based engine oil into the Synthetic oil or deciding not to go to the hospital even though you needed it at any cost?
Let’s check out below why I mentioned Synthetic Oil as one of your choices.
Synthetic Oil: Introduction and Purpose
Many years ago, engineers realized that in high heat petroleum-based oils break down and lose their lubricating capabilities. Over time, petroleum–based oils also begin to oxidize and create sludge, leaving damaging residue inside the engines. This problem led Dr. Hermann Zorn (German) to develop Synthetic Oil for high-temperature use in jet aircraft engines. To overcome the breaking down problem of petroleum-based oils, synthetic oil is formulated in laboratory and doesn't contain the naturally occurring chemicals that break down at high temperatures. Furthermore, Synthetic oil is manufactured without many of the chemical compositions that contribute to oil oxidation and sludge buildup. Synthetic oil tolerate the temperatures at which petroleum-based oils would burn up. Synthetic oil is not distilled from crude oil. It is made through a chemical process known as the Fischer-Tropsch process. It goes through many chemical reactions which uses methane, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide as the raw materials. Synthetic oil not only work best in heat but also provide various benefits in extreme cold. Petroleum-based motor oil gets thick in low temperatures as a result it requires the starter and battery to work harder ...

Future of Synthetic Oil:
Synthetic Oil is mainly used in transport engines such as aircraft jet engines, car engines, and military vehicles. As the concern of consumers, governments, and industries is moving to increased efficiency and reduced emissions, especially in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, Synthetic Oil is making its way to meet all the demands. The reasons of its uses in transport engines is mentioned above.

Chemists are the specialists in chemistry, that interact with chemical properties, and reactions. The earth is made up of different gases. Some of this gases are needed for life in the planet but other gases can be harmful to the living. Gas’s use in regular quantities are favorable to the earth. The world started to become more advance and had to use more of this gases to produce everyday objects and inventions by men. Little did we knew this chemicals we going to affect us in our life. Chemist Jose Mario Molina actually discovered that chlorofluorocarbons were affecting the ozone layer.
Imperial Oil ltd. Limited (Esso) is a Canadian public corporation that produces crude oil and natural gas. Currently the headquarters are based out of Calgary, Alberta employing over 5000 people, with Exxon Mobil owning 69.6 percent of the company. Imperial Oil ltd. was previously located in Toronto and has recently moved all main facilities over to the Calgary, Alberta headquarters.1 Esso was incorporated in London, ON in 1880 and became a land mark in the development of crude oil and natural gases.1 Its retail business consists of service stations and "On the Run Express and Tiger Express-brand" convenience stores. Esso also owns a 25% portion of Syncrude, which are the world’s largest oil sands.1
The olefins are also important for petrochemical industries due to their use as main building blocks for many for industrial and domestic applications.
Once extracted from the earth, crude oil must be refined to become useful. Crude oil contains over 500 hundred hydrocarbons plus many other elements and additives that are all combined into one product. The refining process separates and groups these hydrocarbons together to make things that are of value to us such as gasoline and diesel fuel, waxes, asphalts, household fuel oil, industrial lubricating oils, greases and other petrochemicals.
The Pacific Oil Company was formed in 1902 and had been the leader in the manufacturing of a petroleum product Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM). This product was Pacific Oil's major product line and was the main component to the manufacturing of plastics, used in many products. In 1979, Pacific Oil had landed a major contract with reliant and had over the years establish a great working partnership. The Reliant Corporation was one of Pacific’s largest and most valued customers and Pacific Oil Company wanted to renegotiate their current contract with the Reliant Corporation, with the goal of extending before it expired. Pacific’s negotiation team, Jean Fontaine, Marketing Vice President for Europe with Paul Gaudin, Marketing Manager of VCM along with representatives Frederick Hauptmann, Senior Purchasing Manager and Egon Zinnser, Regional VP for European operation from The Reliant Corporation, where to spend nearly two year working through the extension of the contract. In the end, the contract settlement was down to a final item that Pacific was not happy about, that may my then loose the extension altogether.
Technically, the method is not thought of as a biofuel because it was not produced from a crop. Ethylene is used and it is produced through catalytic cracking. This is an addition reaction that is exothermic and is shown through the equation: CH2=CH2(g) + H2O(g) → CH3CH2OH(l) ΔH = - 45kj
Oil plays a vital role for your vehicle’s engine, keeping each part lubricated for a smooth operation, while keeping it cool and preventing carbon from accumulating inside. The car repair experts from Automotive Express offer the following answers to questions you may have about automotive oil changes:

Oil is used as a lubricant inside of most engines to keep metal parts from rubbing together as the engine runs. Over time the oil loses its viscosity and becomes thinner. If the oil is left in this state for a long period of time, the oil will begin to burn away and metal parts will begin to wear down. To destroy your automobile engine, I would recommend never changing
Crude Oil Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbon molecules formed over millions of years when the remains of microscopic sea creatures trapped in sediments were converted by heat and pressure into crude oil. The most abundant of these mixtures are the ones containing hydrogen and carbon only. These hydrocarbons can take on a number of different forms, i.e. alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. They vary in size and shape and viscosity. By manipulating these chains of hydrocarbons you can create any number of useful substances as they are very adaptable.
Though many people fail to realize it, chemistry is a subject essential to everyday life, due to the fact that it is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. But what we must understand is that everything in the universe is composed of matter, hence chemistry is necessary in learning more about the world and universe that we live in. There are many careers and fields affiliated with chemistry that people pursue to learn more about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering.
There are various types of Fuel Oil and within the Fuel Oils, classifications, standards and grades such as MGO (Marine Gas Oil), MDO (Marine Diesel Oil), IFO (Intermediate Fuel Oil), MFO (Marine Fuel Oil) and HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil). This regulation, classification, standard and grades are strictly monitored by national, and ISO international standards and Russia’s G.O.S.T and TU.
Transportation is another benefit of oil. Of course we all know that we use oil to run our vehicles, but that is not the only benefit. Oil is also used in combustion engines.
The oil refinery converts crude oil into valuable products and supplies. These products are made and sent to many countries abroad, in which are transported on land or along rivers and canals. Crude oil is then arranged and categorized into segments by fractional distillation. Raw crude oil, or unprocessed crude oil, is not normally beneficial in most industrial applications. Low sulfur crude oil has been valuable as a burner fuel to construct steam for the force of seagoing vessels. The lighter elements have the ability to construct explosive and dangerous vapors in the gas tanks. There are extremely hazardous, and are often used in war ships. The remaining hydrocarbon molecules are filtered from crude oil and used towards lubricants, feedstock, plastics, and fuels.
