Semi-Synthetic Oil

Why Does My Vehicle Need an Oil Change?

The oil keeps the moving components of your engine lubricated, but it doesn’t last forever. After a time, the oil will begin to break down and won’t be as good at lubricating. In addition, it can leave sludge deposits in the engine. Since both of these can cause damage, you’ll need to have an oil change performed before they happen. Our technicians will drain the old oil and remove the oil filter. Then, they’ll replace them with Ford-approved oil and an OEM oil filter. Delaying an oil change can cause your engine to suffer a decreased lifespan. Go too long without an oil change, and your engine may suffer catastrophic damage.

What Is Semi-Synthetic Oil?

To answer this question, let’s first take a look at conventional and synthetic oil. Conventional oil is a mineral oil that’s been refined from crude oil and is the most basic type of oil used in oil changes, and the least expensive. Synthetic oil has gone through extra distillation and purification steps to remove even more impurities, and detergent additives are added to help keep your engine cleaner. Synthetic oil lasts longer and is better for your engine, but it also costs more than conventional oil. Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of synthetic and conventional oil. It can give your engine some of the benefits of synthetic oil, but at a lower price. It serves as a good compromise, and can also be a stepping stone on the way to full synthetic.
