Like most Temecula drivers, you want to keep your car running in top shape. So, you may be wondering if it’s worth the extra cost to use synthetic oil in your vehicle. Is it really better than conventional oil? What’s the difference? Our service department wants you to make informed choices, so we’ve put together a comparison below to help you with your synthetic oil vs. regular oil debate. But what about synthetic blends? We also do a full synthetic oil vs. synthetic blend comparison as well.
Both synthetic and conventional oil are pumped from the ground and sent to refineries. But what is done with them from that point is what makes the difference, and the difference is substantial. Conventional oil is refined to the point where it is cleansed of impurities and can be used as motor oil. Synthetic oil is treated with petrochemicals that have been specially formulated to work on a molecular level to fully optimize your engine’s performance by providing the cleanest lubrication possible as you travel along our Temecula roads.
You likely have more important things to think about during your Escondido commute than how well the motor oil in your car is performing. That’s why it’s important to use an oil you don’t have to worry about as much. Here is how the performance of synthetic and conventional oil compare:
Synthetic oil blended with regular oil is a less expensive alternative to fully synthetic oil. And it performs better than regular oil by itself. However, it does not perform quite as well as full synthetic. So it’s a compromise between cost and performance.
The experts in our service center would be glad to explain the advantages of synthetic oil to you. So, schedule an appointment online with us for your next oil change. And, if you’d like to learn more, check out our post on how often synthetic oil should be changed. We’re just a short drive away from Riverside. So stop in and let us help.
