Did You Know?
Drivers undoubtedly
have noticed
their
vehicles need less frequent
oil changes than
cars once required.
The longtime standard
oil change interval of once every 3,000 miles no
longer applies, and that’s thanks to the pivot away
from conventional oil to synthetic oil. The molecular
structure of synthetic oil and its ability to
perform better at extreme temperature means drivers
can now drive significantly longer distances
between oil changes. In fact, Car and Driver notes
that synthetic motor oils provide better startup
performance and flow at temperatures down to
minus-40 Fahrenheit and then endure extremely
high temperatures without oxidizing, thickening
or turning black. The reason synthetic oils need
less frequent changes is that they can maintain
their superior properties two to three times longer
than conventional oils. Though each vehicle manufacturer
is different and drivers are urged to consult
their owner’s manuals regarding synthetic oil
change interval recommendations, it’s not uncommon
for modern vehicles to range between 5,000
and 7,000 miles before they need an oil change.
Some synthetic oil manufacturers even note their
products can last more than 10,000 miles.
