Oil changes are an important part of servicing and maintaining your vehicle. Preventive future problems means keeping up on oil changes, and it is a good time to get a visual checkup. Oil keeps the engine smoothly running, but should you choose conventional motor oil or the new synthetic oil? What is the difference?
Conventional oil is the standard product in most cars. It helps keep the engine parts cleaned and protects against overheating. Conventional oil comes in different viscosities, which means the solution comes in different degrees of fluidity and thickness. Conventional oils are fine for many cars, but some car manufacturers are recommending synthetic oils.
If your manufacturer recommends synthetics, it is best practice to use synthetic oils only. Synthetic oils offer better protection under extreme situations, such as hotter than average temperatures.
Visit our friendly and knowledgeable service department here at Gwinnett Place Ford in Duluth to find out which type of motor oil the manufacture recommends for your vehicle. We can also help you determine when your next oil change should be.
