Synthetic Oil Change Service

Synthetic Difference

Traditional oil is pure oil with a few additives and minor adjustments to make it work in your car. Synthetic takes that idea further, and to a large extent is a man-made product. Synthetic oil lubricates your engine better than a traditional oil, which is a major selling point. It also puts out fewer pollutants into the atmosphere. The downside is that it costs significantly more than traditional oil. Synthetic oil lasts longer, which offsets the cost some. While Synthetic is less harmful to the environment, it is still oil and still has to be disposed of, and is still a pollutant.

A Middle Ground

There is also a hybrid oil available, that is a little more synthetic than a traditional oil, but still has features of traditional oil. The cost is somewhere between the two, and it is a compromise if you want to split the difference between the two. Synthetics are also better in weather extremes, whether hot or cold.

Oil Changes in General

Synthetic oil changes are becoming more popular, but the important thing is that you actually get your oil changed regularly when the owner’s manual says you should. The oil is like blood in your engine. It removes impurities and lubricates the engine to keep it running at its best. Regular oil changes are the single most important thing you can do for the health and longevity of your car’s engine.
