Do You Know Why Synthetic
Motor Oils Are Better Than Conventional Oils?
Are
you still skeptical about synthetic motor oils and
extended drain intervals?
It's easy to understand your distrust with all
the mixed messages - oil companies promote a 3000-mile oil change while
automakers recommend longer intervals through oil change indicator lights and
plain oil 10,000 to 12,000-mile changes for European vehicles - there's bound to
be confusion. The result of this confusion is a pervasive distrust.
Even after you buy something you want, you can
be anxious and wonder whether you made the right decision by upgrading to
synthetics. Here are eight truths about why synthetics are better for today's
motorist and worth the extra upfront cost:
-
They offer superior wear protection so
that engines last longer.
-
They improve fuel economy so that vehicles
get better mileage out of every tank of gas.
-
Because of their low pour points and cold
weather pumpability, they make winter starts much easier.
-
By reducing friction they help engines run
cooler.
-
By reducing deposits engines run cleaner
and perform more efficiently.
-
Because of lower volatility they reduce
oil consumption.
-
They have been proven to provide more
horsepower.
-
Because they resist oxidation and
breakdown, they reduce varnish and sludge which keeps valve and rings from
sticking.
It's a "wow" type of list. This is good stuff
for you to know. When combined with extended drains, premium synthetic motor
oils offer these additional benefits:
-
Synthetics will save you money. Their over
all life-cycle costs are less than petroleum products.
-
Synthetics will save you time. With
extended drain intervals you are not sitting in your "quick lube" as often
wasting an hour or so as you would using petroleum oil and changing every
3,000 miles or at your local garage wasting half your day for a simple oil
change.
-
Synthetics also reduce waste. Not only is
there less wasted oil to deal with, there are also fewer empty containers
for disposal.
No question about it, the truth is powerful.
By knowing the truth about synthetics you can put to rest the anxious concerns
you have regarding one of your biggest investments, your vehicle. In the end you
should feel comfort knowing your vehicle's engine is better protected.
