Conventional & SyntheticOil changes, lube, and fitler

Conventional Oil Vs Synthetic Oil

Oil is essential for your vehicle’s wellbeing and protects critical engine components from damage to ensure your engine runs properly.

At Carfix, we are firm believers in using synthetic oil for vehicle oil changes due to synthetic oil’s wide range of benefits.

When comparing synthetic oil to conventional oil, the American Automobile Association found that synthetic engine oils performed an average of 47 percent better than conventional oils in a variety of industry-standard tests.

Synthetic Oil Advantages

While conventional motor oil provides adequate lubrication for your vehicle, synthetic motor oil offers far greater levels of performance, fuel efficiency, and protection for your engine.

Increased Engine Protection. Your vehicle’s engine components wear down over time due to being in constant friction, and your motor oil is the only thing that provides protection for all these moving parts. Compared to conventional oil, synthetic oil won’t break down and will protect your engine for longer, as well as extend its lifespan.

A Cleaner Engine. As motor oil circulates through your vehicle’s engine to lubricate its parts, small deposits start to form. Conventional oil tends to create sludge in your engine from these deposits over time which reduces your engine’s efficiency and longevity. Full synthetic oils, however, contain fewer impurities and are able to resist sludge and deposit formation, ensuring a cleaner engine and continued peak performance for your vehicle.

Extreme Temperature Protection. Synthetic oils are more stable than conventional oils at both low and high temperatures. They are designed to flow quickly in winter temperatures and resist extreme heat in hotter climates, ensuring your engine runs smoothly whatever the weather.

Enhanced Turbocharger Protection. More and more cars are being built with smaller engines and turbochargers, which means synthetic oil is able to flow quicker to critical parts allowing for superior engine performance, as well as create the needed lubrication for your engine. Conventional oil, on the other hand, breaks down much faster under turbocharged conditions which can negatively impact engine performance.
