As we mentioned, there are four types of oil changes that can be done to your vehicle. For this post, we are focusing on the first: Full Synthetic.
What is it for?
Full Synthetic oil is best used for what many mechanics consider “high-tech engines.” What does that mean, you ask? You’ll normally find these engines in sports cars like the Chevrolet Corvette or in Mercedes-Benz models. Do you own a vehicle like this? If so, you’ll most likely need Full Synthetic when you go in for a change.
How does it work?
Full Synthetic Oil has to undergo special, rigorous tests in order to be labeled as such. This proves that it can provide a long-lasting, and superior performance in all crucial areas. These areas range from an engine’s viscosity index, to the amount of protection it provides against deposits. Ultimately, the full synthetic oil will flow better in low temperatures. This makes it easy for vehicle start-ups on cold mornings, and will prolong the peak lubricity at high temperatures. Furthermore, this oil also proves potent in lowering friction. Because of this, it provides better fuel economy and ensures lower volatility.
Due to all its perks, this type of oil change can run you a bit extra. However, it’s a price worth paying since your need for oil changes will decrease and you could possibly save money in the long-run.
