Organic and mineral oils degrade at high temps over a certain lenght of time or at very high temps in a very ,very short time! Re check you chip pan! Synths are temperature tolerant!

I do hope you're not suggesting I cook my chips in synth oil

Synthetic oils will last the life of your car, filtration is the problem.

Not strictly true. Even a synthetic oil will break down. It is down to a process known as "shearing" where the molecular structure breaks down.

This happens to all oils, just much more slowly to fully synthetic oils. On the downside, when fully synth breaks down it has similar lubricating properties to water!

Yes, but also the additives break up much before the actual synth oil does, and their components are chemically reactive and produce acids and other harmful substances.
