Answer
Ester oil is synthetic base oil that has been chemically synthesized. Typically ester oils are used in passenger car air-conditioning compressors, refrigerators and other industrial applications. Esters are one of the classes of synthetics that have been used in Mobil 1™ oils as well. Esters are stable molecules, provide good solvency, and provide very good low-temperature and high-temperature performance in engine oils.
