    Differences include:

    Base Stock Composition: Mineral oils are derived from crude oil refining, while synthetic oils are chemically engineered.
    Performance Characteristics: Synthetic oils offer better thermal and oxidation stability, wider temperature operating ranges, and longer service life.
    Cost: Synthetic oils are generally more expensive upfront but may reduce long-term costs through extended intervals and equipment protection.
    Additive Compatibility: Synthetic oils may require different additive packages compared to mineral oils.
    Choosing between them depends on operational requirements, cost considerations, and equipment manufacturer recommendations.
