Synthetic Oil Changes in West Bend
Many modern cars use synthetic oil and knowing how synthetic oil impacts your vehicle's wellbeing is important. West Bend, WI drivers have plenty to consider, when getting an oil change. To have a good assessment of their oil change situation, the professionals at Russ Darrow are knowledgeable in how long different varieties of synthetic oil can last. While the lifespan of synthetic oil, and even conventional oil, differs from vehicle to vehicle, knowing the ins and outs of the former can keep your vehicle running in pristine condition.
How is Synthetic Oil Different from Conventional Oil?
Synthetic oil is the result of complex chemical engineering processes. While mineral oil has been used for many years, synthetic oil lasts much longer, is cleaner and tends to resist high temperatures better. Because synthetic oil is more stable at the molecular oil, it doesn't suffer from consistency issues. It's distilled and purified, which means most of its impure elements are removed.
Synthetic Oil and Your Engine
Many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Rams use synthetic oils. Again, it's important to know that each vehicle requires a different synthetic blend formulation to run efficiently. If you use synthetic oil for a single oil change, you can still use conventional oil the next time.
How Long Does Synthetic Oil Last?
On average, synthetic oil will last about 7,500 to 10,000 miles before it needs to be changed. Some vehicles can even go 10,000 to 15,000 miles before needing new synthetic oil. Keep in mind, though, that you may need to upgrade your vehicle's oil filter to a premium oil filter capable of using synthetic oil. These filters have much larger capacities, containing extra impurities, and helping your vehicle go much longer before it needs to be serviced.
Should You Switch to Synthetic Oil
While synthetic oil certainly has its benefits, it isn't necessarily the right choice for every vehicle. Many new vehicles, of course, require synthetic oil to function. Many hybrids and high-performance vehicles also need synthetic oil to run efficiently. To determine whether your vehicle can benefit from synthetic oil, refer to its Owner's Manual. If synthetic oil is a requirement, you'll need to use it to avoid risking your warranty coverage due to engine-related problems.
