What differences in performance are there for biodegradable lubricants?

And what is their performance like?

Because of the natural properties of esters and the specific additives developed for these oils, biodegradable lubricants surpass mineral oils when it comes to viscosity/temperature behaviour, total shear strength and anti-wear properties. Under the right operating conditions, using biodegradable oils can therefore lead to a significant increase in intervals between oil changes compared with standard mineral oils.
