Synthetic lubricants are produced from specially designed molecules that provide extra vehicle protection and extra vehicle performance. Modern synthetic lubricants are also designed to be fully compatible with mineral lubricants therefore there is no problem when changing from mineral to synthetic lubricants. You can even mix mineral and synthetic lubricants in an application however the quality of the mixed lubricant will depend on the ratio of the mix and in general is likely to be equivalent to the mineral lubricant.
