Molecules in the gas state move much faster than their liquid or solid states. Depending on the temperature and pressure, molecules can exist in three states: gas, liquid, o â¦ r solid. At high temperatures and low pressures, the gas state is favored.
I have been told that if you start using synthetic lube oil, you must continue. Going back to regular oil will damage the engine. That does not make sense to me.
1 You could use an engine oil stop leak additive to reduce oil consumption but this should only be a temporary solution because it doesnât treat the underlying cause of the consumption it just hides it.  You could change the oil to a fully synthetic type if you are not using such oil already.
