In this day and age, the vast majority of oils we use are synthetic oils. While they may utilize a petroleum base, synthetic oils contain a variety of artificially made chemical compounds. These oils are still relatively new to the market, and there are constantly new esters and advances in the technologies.

Synthetic oils are made from three base stocks: polyalphaolefin, synthetic esters, and hydrocracked. There is also a sub-group known as synthetic blends. These oils contain various mineral oils and up to 30% synthetic oil.
