Is your car’s Oil Life System light on?

While it might be easy to look away from that oil light on your vehicle’s dashboard, timely oil changes keep your engine running like new. Our Service Center’s certified technicians will help you choose the right oil for your particular model.

Let’s break down the differences between synthetic oil and conventional oil, so you can learn more about what’s best for your vehicle.

What Is Synthetic Oil?

Full synthetic oil is the highest grade of motor oil available. Manufacturers tend to create full synthetic oil with the best base oil combination. This quality starting point gives synthetic oil increased chemical stability that helps resist sludge buildup and maintains your engine’s overall performance for the long haul.

Radical temperatures can have a negative impact on your motor oil’s efficiency. Cold conditions may increase the time it takes for the oil to flow entirely through your engine, while hot weather can break down the oil at an accelerated rate. Synthetic oil combats these two issues by flowing more seamlessly in low temperatures and providing more resistance during extreme heat scenarios.

Synthetic oil is made through a complex process that includes petrochemical development. This phase fosters the inclusion of specific molecular qualities that create exceptional oil performance. Crude oil impurities exit the picture during synthetic oil manufacturing so individual molecules can rise to meet the needs of modern engines.

What Is Conventional Oil?

Conventional oil contains naturally occurring compounds that exist in underground reservoirs and tar sands. Manufacturers take these natural compounds, refine them, and treat them to create conventional oil that protects your engine.

While conventional oil has its drawbacks—it does offer some benefits. The perks of conventional motor oil include a lower cost and engine support that can aid older cars. Vehicles that have registered over 75,000 miles may use conventional oil since the oil will flow slower than synthetic oil and subsequently provide more protection. More dated models might be made with conventional oil in mind since synthetic and synthetic blends may not have been available yet.

The main downside of conventional motor oil is that it’s more susceptible to wear and tear than synthetic oil.
