Synthetic Motor Oil
Question --- is synthetic motor oil flammable like regular old motor oil ?
Re: Synthetic Motor Oil
Google:
Does synthetic oil burn like conventional oil?
Regular oil starts to burn between 350 - 450 degrees F, While synthetic oil can continue to function at over 500 degrees. Sometimes piston/ring temperatures can rise to over 500 degrees under loads.
