What is Synthetic Motor Oil?

Synthetic oils are those that are human-made and do not require petroleum extracted from the ground to produce like conventional oil. Synthetic oil is a technology that has been developed and advanced by chemical engineers. It has a smaller molecule than petroleum-based oil that helps it flow to moving parts faster when starting the engine, retains its initial viscosity for longer when lubricating in extreme heat, and improves overall lubrication to the engine's moving parts. 

What is the Synthetic Oil Change Interval?

Full-synthetic motor oil has an extended change schedule beyond the alternatives between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. Be sure to monitor engine performance if driving in severe conditions and choose the shorter interval if driving in harsh conditions such as towing heavy trailers.

Benefits of Routine Oil Changes

Just as there are significant consequences for not getting oil changes on time, there are also tremendous benefits of routine oil changes at the specified mileage:

• Keeps the engine cleaner
• Protects internal parts
• Quieter operation
• Enhanced fuel economy
• Extends engine life
