If you’re a regular driver, you know that it is hard to ignore the glaring light on your dashboard when your car needs an oil change – your car will not fail to remind you of its needs. Because of this, you probably know that keeping your engine properly lubricated is essential to your car’s proper functioning. Having sufficient oil in your engine helps to reduce friction and heat throughout your engine, which keeps you and your vehicle safe. However, did you know that different types of oil can determine how well your vehicle performs?
There are multiple different types of oil, including conventional engine oil, synthetic blend oil, and full synthetic oil:
There are several great reasons to use full synthetic oil that we explore below:
One of the benefits of using full synthetic oil is being able to wait longer between oil changes due to the higher refinement level of full synthetic oils. With synthetic oil, it is recommended that you change your oil every 7,500-15,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. With conventional oil, you should change your oil every 3,000 miles, or once every 6 months. Full synthetic oil therefore allows you to save time and money on your oil changes in the long run, as the oil is lasting much longer.
Full synthetic oil provides excellent engine protection; by lubricating the engine more effectively than conventional oil, synthetic oil reduces friction and heat in the engine so that there is less wear and tear on your engine. Similarly, synthetic oil helps to build a film on your engine that aids in protecting the engine against high temperatures. These protective properties of synthetic oil help to keep your engine healthy for longer.
Along with helping your engine withstand higher temperatures, synthetic oil itself has superior thermal stability compared to conventional oil – this means that it not only can withstand higher temperatures, but also lower temperatures. If you’ve ever run into an issue starting your car in the dead of winter, full synthetic oil will be your best friend – synthetic oil offers better cold start protection, assuring that your vehicle will be likely to start with ease even in colder temperatures.
Full synthetic oil has a consistent molecular structure due to its refinement process, allowing the oil to flow more smoothly through the engine. This promotes better engine performance, and allows for improved fuel efficiency. Full synthetic oil also contains fewer impurities, which helps to keep the engine clear of sludge and other contaminants that sometimes appear in conventional oils.
If you drive a newer model vehicle, full synthetic oil is likely more compatible with your car’s engine technology. With the enhanced protection from full synthetic oil, vehicles with advanced engine technology are able to reach the full potential of their vehicle’s system, such as cars with turbocharged engines and advanced fuel injection systems.
Full synthetic oil is less harmful to the environment, as the longer service intervals between oil changes required allows for lower oil waste. Similarly, because of increased fuel efficiency that full synthetic oil offers, there is a reduced carbon footprint.
