Synthetic Oil Change

Synthetic Oil Changes in Horsham, PA

Modern cars are becoming far more likely to rely on synthetic rather than conventional oil, and as described by the engineer require synthetic oil when it is time for an oil change. To the layman, the oil change doesn't seem like a different process than it used to be with conventional oil, but there are a few things for the car owner to be aware of. First, the oil doesn't have to be changed as often as conventional oil, but that means it is far more important to conduct the oil change according to a schedule rather than postponing it. A second consideration concerns the oil filter, which needs to be replaced with an appropriate one to last until the next oil change.

Synthteic Oil

Synthetic oil has to be changed for the same reasons conventional oil did. Over time, debris from moving parts or an incorrectly applied gasket can foul the fluid, as can condensation which can form inside the unsealed system. Alternately, over time the oil itself begins to break down on a molecular level, rendering it inefficient at its job of lubricating and cooling the pistons as they fire inside the engine. Yet another reason for routine oil changes is that a trained technician can evaluate the old oil and determine whether it indicates a problem might exist if it is dirtier than expected or burnt there is likely something in the engine which isn't working properly even if it hasn't begun to cause other symptoms with the vehicle's performance.

Although oil changes are important and have to be done, the reasons are likely different than what most car owners think. The main reason is not something you'll notice immediately but is simply that oil changes extend the life of the car. With a car likely being your most expensive purchase other than your home, it only makes sense to take care of it. Something as simple as an oil change along with other recommended maintenance can add a few years to the life of the car, which will save money over time.
