We often hear the question of “What is the difference
between Conventional, Full, and Semi-Synthetic Oil? What type of oil change
is really necessary to get anyway? And cost wise, which one is most effective? If
you don’t know what the difference is between synthetic blend oils and full
synthetic oil, we are here to assist.
First things first, motor oils aren’t created equal. A
synthetic oil typically outperform conventional oil.
Full synthetic oil is far superior to conventional oil due
to its longevity. Full synthetic oil also won’t break down when it faces hot
temperatures from the engine or from the weather outside. You know….like the
hot temperatures that we see here in Florida. So, here, you’ll want to have
full synthetic oil in your vehicle so it doesn’t break down that quickly.
Now synthetic blend oil is kind of like a hybrid of both conventional
oil and full synthetic oil. The two oils are basically mixed together so that
you’ll have oil that is a little bit better than conventional oil. You may
choose to purchase synthetic blend oil for your oil change because it is cheaper
than full synthetic oil. Plus it still has more longevity than conventional
oil.
Most vehicles, nowadays actually take a synthetic oil to
run. Many of the newer cars have high-performance engines in them. Hence the
need for a synthetic oil.
Overall, you should purchase full synthetic oil if you don’t
mind paying a little more for it. Synthetic oil creates less resistance inside
of a car’s engine which means you’ll have better engine efficiency and
horsepower. As a result, you’ll end up using less gas in your vehicle and
promote a better fuel economy. Who doesn’t like using less gas….means more
money in your pocket overall!
So, while it can be confusing, it really is it important to
know what type of oil your car’s manufacturer recommends for your vehicle
because it will help prolong the functionality and the lifespan of the engine.
