2. Synthetic oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_oil

   A sample of synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. Synthetic oil is used as a substitute for petroleum-refined oils when operating in extreme temperature, in metal stamping to provide environmental and other benefits, and to lubricate pendulum clocks.

3. Cutting fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_fluid

   Semi-synthetic and synthetic cutting fluids represent attempts to combine the best properties of oil with the best properties of water by suspending emulsified oil in a water base. These properties include: rust inhibition, tolerance of a wide range of water hardness (maintaining pH stability around 9 to 10), ability to work with many metals ...

4. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   Tests [citation needed] show that fully synthetic oil is superior in extreme service conditions to conventional oil, and may perform better for longer under standard conditions. But in the vast majority of vehicle applications, mineral oil-based lubricants, fortified with additives and with the benefit of over a century of development, continue ...

   About synthetics: Almost all newer vehicles use synthetic oil, so if the manufacturer specifies that, you must use it. Many older vehicles weren't filled with synthetics when new and still use ...

6. Semisynthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisynthesis

   Semisynthesis, or partial chemical synthesis, is a type of chemical synthesis that uses chemical compounds isolated from natural sources (such as microbial cell cultures or plant material) as the starting materials to produce novel compounds with distinct chemical and medicinal properties.

7. Synthetic fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_fuel

   After Allied bombing of Germany's synthetic-fuel production plants (especially in May to June 1944), the Geilenberg Special Staff used 350,000 mostly foreign forced-laborers to reconstruct the bombed synthetic-oil plants, [23]: 210, 224 and, in an emergency decentralization program, the Mineralölsicherungsplan (1944-1945), to build 7 ...
