What are the Benefits of Synthetic Oil?

Now that you know why engine oil is so essential to your engine and what synthetic oil is let’s go over five benefits that using synthetic oil can have for your vehicle.

Less Frequent Oil Changes

One reason many car owners switch to synthetic oil is that it requires less frequent oil changes. Because of the additives, synthetic oil has, its better at resisting high temperatures, maintaining its viscosity, and repelling many by-products from combustion. When using mineral oil, you’ll need to perform an oil change every 3,000 miles, but with synthetic oil, oil changes can happen every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, saving you money in the long run.

A Modern Approach

Another benefit of using synthetic oil is that you’ll be taking a modern approach when it comes to the oil you use in your engine. One of AMSOIL’s aims is to use technological advances to enhance the oil products they create. It’s important to remember that a well-cared-for engine will always be more efficient and will cause fewer emissions. With this in mind, AMSOIL aims to manufacture products that provide outstanding performance and last longer.

A Well Lubricated Engine

As mentioned above, the primary task engine oil has in your vehicle is to lubricate it to prevent components from rubbing off against each other and creating friction. While all engine oil does the same thing, synthetic oil is effective for much longer than mineral oil and helps keep your engine safe for longer.

High-Temperature Resistance

An additional benefit of synthetic oil is that because of the additives introduced in its manufacturing, this oil can handle high temperatures better. High temperatures are a by-product of the combustion process that makes your vehicle run; that’s why having oil formulated to withstand high temperatures is excellent. Handling high temperatures is one thing, but cold temperatures are also necessary. A lot of times, oil will lose its viscosity in colder temperatures. This means that it will have trouble when it comes to protecting the components inside your car’s engine. That said, synthetic oil has the necessary additives to withstand colder temperatures and protect your engine better.

Less Buildup

Lastly, synthetic oil can help prevent buildup, improving your vehicle’s performance. Buildup in your engine is normal and expected as the oil breaks down and transforms into sludge. This sludge could clog up oil passages preventing it from reaching the rest of your engine. The advantage synthetic oil has over mineral oil is that it's less thick, allowing it to pass through the engine easily without losing the properties that protect your engine from premature wear and tear.
