Difference between Syn. & Min. Turbine fluids.

Read our primer articles on Grease Guns and Oil Sight Glasses.

Hi,

I need some info on the following topics:

What normally is the sump life of an ISO VG68 grade of Turbine oil (mineral oil base) & same grade of Synthetic based fluid (Biodegradable-Diester based)?
Does synthetic fluid (Di-ester based) provides better oxidation stability & hence less oil is needed for top-up for lost oil?
Which one is more cost effective?

I will be very thankful for any information on above.
