The present invention provides a class of halogen-containing synthetic base oils, and preparation method and use thereof. The synthetic base oils have introduced with halogen, especially fluorine, wherein the dipole motion of the halogen groups results in dipole interaction between the dipoles of other components and the base oil molecules of dipole-dipole and dipole-induced halogen (especially fluorine), and the interaction force is stronger and more localized than the dispersion force between the molecules of pure hydrocarbon synthetic oils, and thus the performance of the base oils is directly affected. It solved the problem of oil solubility of pure hydrocarbon synthetic oils, and also improved the properties of oxidation resistance and thermal stability.

A turbine oil used in a turbine of a jet engine, containing: a base oil (A) containing a polyol ester (A1); an antioxidant (B) containing an amine-based antioxidant (B1); a polymethacrylate (C) having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 600,000; and an alkyl aromatic compound (D), having a content of the component (D) of 1,000 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of a total resin content of the component (C), and satisfying the following requirements (1) and (2): requirement (1): a viscosity index of 140 or more; and requirement (2): a coking amount attached to a panel of 80 mg or less after a panel coking test under the prescribed condition. The turbine oil has a high viscosity index to such an extent that an oil film can be retained in the use under a high temperature environment as in a turbine of a jet engine mounted on an aircraft, and is excellent in low temperature viscosity characteristics while retaining excellent heat resistance.
