So what if synthetic motor oil outlasts conventional motor oil.  Just change your oil more often you lazy bum!

Seriously though, synthetic oil is pricey and changing synthetic motor oil every 3,000 miles is not very cost effective.  Considering that synthetic oil truly lasts longer than conventional oil, you’re not going to be purchasing oil as often which might actually save you some money and you get the awesome benefits attached to synthetic oil like better gas mileage and superior engine protection (preventing costly breakdowns which saves you even more money).

What is synthetic oil and how does it last longer than conventional oil?

Synthetic oil has basestock oils that have been “synthesized” from component molecules (or heavily processed depending on the manufacturer).  What it boils down to is eliminating the native contaminants from the base oils and keeping separate the specific molecules of oil that provide the base viscosity, lubricating properties and resistance to breakdown.

In a nutshell this means that you have a pure starting point.  When your oil breaks down and/or becomes contaminated your oil is no longer capable of properly protecting your engine.  Synthetic oil can be engineered to prevent breakdown and subsequent self contamination while maintaining its base lubrication properties for longer.  Some conventional oils on the other hand are more prone to oxidation sludging and other depositing that changes the lubricating properties of the oil (as some say because they are not pure).

Certain synthetic oils will last longer in the tough environement of your engine as compared to conventional oils.

This really is an oversimplification of a complex topic but the point is in many cases the extra money spent on synthetic motor oil can be offset by extending the change intervals. The overall cost of operating your vehicle is going to go down and you’re still going to get excellent engine protection past that 3,000 mile mark.

So you can save money and protect your engine if you select the right synthetic motor oil for your application.

The heart of your vehicle is your engine.  If you maintain it and care for your engine it will start every time and never leave you stranded.  If you don’t care for it it will start to burn oil, have rough starts, make you wonder if you should take a long trip or not, and cost you lots of money in the long run.  Considering the thousands of dollars you’ve invested in your vehicle it only makes sense that it takes only cents a day to keep your engine in prime condition…27 cents!

Common sense tells us that preventive maintenance is money well spent, and you’ll truly understand this if you grew up on a farm or if you’ve spent time repairing vehicles.  It only takes a small investment of money and time on a regular basis to bring you peace of mind and save you from a lot of hassle.  You’ll enjoy superior engine performance, excellent fuel economy and engine longevity, plus a cool running engine that’ll be saving you money.  By switching over to synthetic oil you’ll prevent harmful engine deposits, hot spot developments, avoidable piston wear and safeguard your crank bearings.

You will most definitely regret not doing any preventive engine maintenance.   Your motor will end up eating oil like a teenage boy eats food and your gas mileage will decrease significantly.  No doubt you won’t be able to rely on your engine to go on any long trips and engine hot spots will speed up the destruction of your oil along with tremendous engine wear; your responsiveness in your gas pedal will decrease and you’ll even experience hesitation when you stomp on it.  Your engine will be an eyesore and you may as well cut the bottom out of your wallet.

Better fuel economy adds up in fact the premium cost of synthetic motor oil is washed away by just a tiny incremental improvement in fuel economy.  Your engine is the most vital investment on your vehicle and for only 27 cents a day you can save thousands of dollars.
