Not all cars allow for synthetic oil use, most do, if your car qualifies for then you should change to synthetic on your next oil change. Most brand new car manufacturers have moved over to requiring synthetic, and most newer makes and models specifically require using synthetic oil as it has been precision engineered and consists of uniformed molecules.
Before we get into that, let’s understand what oil does for your engine. Conventional motor oil works because it helps reduce buildup within the motor itself which overall will reduce friction that can lead to wear and tear on internal parts. Natural conventional motor oil is created from a distillation process of crude motor oil. Synthetic oil on the other hand rearranges the molecules to a new product that conforms to perfect specifications in shape and size while adding additional additives that help fight off sludge and other motor build up. This is why synthetic can last a much longer time without needing to be changed. Most engine friction occurs when the motor is just warming up or while under high load. Synthetic oil assures you that your engine will be working and staying in good shape regardless of your driving habits, whether its cool driving or fast back road driving. With synthetic oil you get the added benefit of having to change oil less and less then in comparison to conventional oil, due to the chemical structure of synthetic. It also protects your engines for a longer time frame, which will help you save money in not only oil changes but in motor changes as well.
The main advantage to using a synthetic blend lubricant is that the actual flow of oil through you engines motor is far more efficient. In most driving conditions, synthetic motor oils are by far the best solutions. Synthetic motor oils primarily excel in just about any driving condition but most importantly they excel in conditions that allow for fast driving. The oil will naturally circulate more efficiently with a synthetic blend as well as more efficiently then your typical non-synthetic blend. To reiterate another time, the actual interval between each and every oil change is greatly reduced.Because synthetic motor oil is specifically manufactured,the issues that usually occur from normal motor use occurs far less often. A usual oil change is required every 3,000 – 5,000 miles where as a a synthetic oil change only requires one every ten thousand miles.
What are the main problems with synthetic changes? Price. Synthetic oils are generally twice as expensive as conventional oils where as they also last twice as long if not longer. Although the pricing is easily justified as you get twice as long without needing to change your oil. Think about going synthetic the next time you get an oil change. You’ll want to talk to your oil lube expert and talk about whether or not synthetic is the best option for you. I’m sure you will enjoy their answers.
A synthetic oil change can keep your engine lasting while extending the time between the necessary changes. Synthetic oil frequency will depend on your driving habits and actual vehicle.
