When you drive your car
into the service station to have an oil change, you’re often
presented with the decision of what lubricant to use in your engine.
The two choices are synthetic and conventional oil. The latter refers
to oil that is processed from crude oil, which comes direct from the
pipeline. The former refers to oil that originates from already
processed and refined oil.
There is a definite
advantage to using synthetic oils, though. Engines using them are
protected more from friction damage. This is because of the
uniformity of molecules in their mix. Conventional motor oil is not
as refined and thus has different molecule sizes. This cause problems
when the engine parts rub each other; with uniform molecules, the
contact is smoother and less friction is created, while variance
between them can increase the chance of friction.
Synthetic oil was
designed for engine work. This means it helps an engine function its
best. It does this by being able to withstand the temperature
extremes found within a modern engine, helping it to be as efficient
as possible.
Synthetic oil also
lasts longer more than other motor oils. Because of the way it is
refined, it has less of the impurities found in regular motor oil
that can cause its quick degradation. This results in less oil
changes for your car. With all of these advantages, make the right
choice the next time you pull into a service station to have your
vehicle serviced.
