Oil changes are vital to your engine because clean oil is essential to make it efficient, reliable and last a long time.  One of the big breakthroughs in oil technology is synthetic oil.  It does a superior job of protecting modern engines and makes them perform better than conventional oil.

The reason is the way synthetic oil’s structure is engineered.  It tolerates more heat, which makes it more durable and protects against friction better.  That way, modern vehicles can perform at their peak for a much longer time.

Engine oil has to perform in a variety of environments, from scorching hot to bone-chilling cold. Synthetic oil is engineered to flow more easily in cold weather, allowing faster lubrication during start‑up.  That’s when most engine wear occurs. In hot weather, it resists thinning and breakdown, coating engine parts with its protective, lubricating film. That way, you can drive with confidence in all sorts of temperature extremes.

One big advantage synthetic oil has over conventional oil is that it contains fewer impurities.  Plus, the molecules are a more uniform size.  That allows it to protect the engine better from friction, avoid sludge and reduce damaging deposits.  It’s also better for high performance engines, such as those that are turbocharged and run hotter and faster.

Another benefit of synthetic oil is that your engine will get better fuel economy since it doesn’t have to work as hard.  It’s especially important if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving.

And one final bonus with synthetic oil is you don’t have to change it as often as conventional oil.  That saves waste and time.  Of course, it’s important that you follow your manufacturer’s guidance on engine oil.  Yes, synthetic oil costs more, but you won’t have to change it as often, you’ll get long-lasting benefits, an engine that will last longer and better performance.
