What is Ester Based Engine Oil

 

Ester-based engine oils are engine lubricants formulated with synthetic ester base oils as the main base oil or important components. Ester base oils are usually produced through esterification reactions of organic acids and polyols; common types include polyol esters, diesters, and complex esters. Because ester molecules have a naturally polar structure, they can firmly adhere to metal surfaces, thus forming a stable lubricating film inside the engine.

 

Due to their excellent performance, ester base oils are commonly used in the following high-end lubrication applications: high-performance automotive engine oils, racing engine oils, aviation lubricants, high-temperature industrial lubricants, compressor oils and refrigeration oils. In many fully synthetic engine oils, ester base oils are also often used as performance-enhancing components.
