WHY DO SYNTHETIC OILS PERFORM BETTER THAN MINERAL OILS?
The reason why synthetic oils outperform minerals oils is down to their molecular structure.
Mineral oil is made from a complex mix of molecules of different shapes and sizes. In contrast, synthetic oil is created in a carefully controlled process and tailor-made to meet a more exacting specification.
The result is:
✔ Better lubrication at both hot and cold temperatures
✔ Potentially increased horsepower and torque due to reduced friction
✔ Enhanced cleanliness and superior engine protection
✔ Increased stability and endurance
✔ The potential for improved fuel economy
SYNTHETIC OIL IS ENGINEERED TO DO A BETTER JOB
There’s a reason why synthetic oil costs a little more than the stuff your dad used when he was a teenager. Where traditional engine oil comes from raw and natural crude, synthetic oil is built in a lab. It’s been engineered by scientists so that every molecule is cleaning and lubricating to the highest quality to improve the life and performance of your engine.
MOST MODERN VEHICLES REQUIRE SYNTHETIC OIL
In the last 10 years, vehicle manufacturers have redesigned engines to meet fuel efficiency and emissions standards. To do that, today’s engines have to work harder and burn much hotter, and conventional oil just can’t handle that heat tolerance. But synthetic oil can. Most vehicles built after 2012, and many built after 2000, require Fully Synthetic Oil.
YOU CAN ALWAYS UPGRADE OIL, BUT YOU CAN NEVER DOWNGRADE
If your vehicle manufacturer says your car requires synthetic oil, it needs synthetic oil to perform as it was designed. Without it, you could be risking engine failure.
