- Synthetic esters are an extremely important part of the modern lubrication ecosystem. As a co-base to many PAO synthetic lubricants they offer additive solvency and deposit control, while as a main base stock they form the foundation of some compressor oils, fire retardant oils, jet engine oils, and biodegradable lubricants.
Esters come in an infinite array of forms, but the basic synthesis is a reaction of an organic acid with an alcohol. In this video we look at some of the common approaches to ester base oil synthesis and how this affects the final molecular structure.
Here at Lubrication Expert we take a first-principles approach to lubricants and greases; helping industry understand lubrication technology and pushing the limits of what is possible.

Thanks for the upload, love the channel. I have no chemistry background but I am also not a complete dullard. When I look up PAOs or Esters, half the channels explanation of oils seem to be aimed at 2 year olds. They show marbles of different sizes to explain how the molecular structure is different, all kinds of silly unscientific explanations. Your channel is everything I was looking for, you summarize the topic in a technical way that even someone with no chemistry background can understand. Very interesting stuff.
This is very interesting, thank you for sharing !
Awesome. That’s the stuff I was looking for! Now I can roughly understand the hydrodynamic effect of lubricants, despite the very basic of: thicker (more viscous) lubricant equals thicker film 😀
Very good explanation, thanks
Good Stuff. So is this Di ester is also known as double ester core for Motul 300V lineup.
Hello! greetings from Chile! Thanks for sharing this information. Can you please explain which are the main differences between saturated and unsaturated esters?
So which are better for engine?pao or ester?can u give recommendations
Please where I can buy palm trimethylolpropane (palm Tmp ester)
Hi, any chance to explain pros and cons of types of ester / diester base oil like bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DOS) compared to polyolester in their application in engine oil, and how does it react when fuel dillution is present,
Is this oil with Ester Core better for speed and easy Shift, gear change?
is ester oil good for flat tappet engines or vtwin? or stay with higher zinc oil?
Sorry if this is stupid question, can I mix ester oil with semi synthetic oil , cheers
