	Alternative Refrigerant mineral oil miscibilities

		The colder the temperature is, the harder it is (for mineral oils) to maintain miscibility.
		In a real system, with the oil and refrigerant combination not miscible in each other, may result in the oil being "trapped" in the evaporator, thus starving the compressor for oil and failing the compressor.

	Synthetic Vs. Mineral Motor Oil — Engine, Oil Tech — Hot Rod Magazine
		It is true that most commercially available petroleum motor oils are produced to a very high standard of purity, but the fact remains that some unknown/unwanted content is still present unless cost-prohibitive extra steps are taken during the refining process.
		Having eliminated mineral oil’s greatest weakness—unwanted molecular “hitchhikers”—the consistent molecular structure of synthetic oil is clearly superior.
		Thanks to additives, multiviscosity oil is possible, and in a quart of 10W-30 for example, you have an oil that acts like 10-weight at cold temperatures and a 30-weight at normal operating temperatures.
