What benefits does the use of a fully synthetic base fluid bring to Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic?

Several. Firstly, superior resistance to oxidation. Oxidation is an oil degradation process caused by the oil combining with oxygen in the air and accelerated at the higher temperatures experienced in an engine. It shortens the life of the oil and, if the oil is not replaced in time, your engine may be damaged. Secondly, reduces volatility. Particularly in newer engine designs, evaporation can be a significant contributor to oil consumption.

In a few simple words, why should I use Caltex Havoline Formula in my car?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
No they are not. Caltex Havoline Formula actually provides extra protection for your engine.

These oils only have enough additives to give your engine minimum protection, and for a relatively short time. Once they are used up, they no longer perform at all. In the long run this means more services for your car, more oil changes and more replacements of expensive engine parts.
