Synthetic oil is a man-made lubricant composed of petroleum components and other chemical compounds, although it typically uses distilled crude oil as its base. It's often used in engines as a substitute for conventional oil, but it has some clear advantages over it. For starters, it is far more stable than conventional oil and is less likely to acidify or oxidize. This means that it will last far longer and provide your engine with greater protection; most synthetic oils are rated to last between 10,000 and 15,000 miles before they need to be changed. Synthetic oil is also cleaner than conventional oil, especially since it doesn't leave the same deposits in your engine that you might see from conventional oil.
While most vehicles can run on either synthetic or conventional oil, synthetic oil provides greater protection and performance. We at Trevor Merren Auto can provide you with the best synthetic oil for your engine, so contact us today.
