Synthetic Oil
A man-made oil, synthetic oil, is created in a lab, where the materials are controlled. Lubricating and high-performance fluids are added, to make the synthetic oil. Some of the major benefits of synthetic are easier flow through the engine, greater viscosity, hold up for a longer period of time, and reduce friction. A synthetic oil is typically the most expensive option, when it comes time for an oil change. While it does cost more, you will find your oil will need changed less often than a traditional conventional oil.
Conventional Oil
A conventional oil is made from crude oil, pulled from the ground and processed at a refinery. The oil is made to provide lubrication between the moving parts of your vehicle’s engine. It also helps to prevent overheating, as your engine works. Conventional offers engine protection properties, heat breakdown capabilities, and viscosity. This type of oil usually lasts about 3,000 miles before it starts to break down, needing changed. Typically the least expensive oil option, it does not offer the same benefits of a synthetic or a blend.
Synthetic Blend Oil
When the two oil types are mixed together, you get the best of both worlds, a synthetic blend oil. The chemicals blend together to create oxidation resistance and helps improve properties of low temperatures. A synthetic blend also helps protect your engine from stop and go traffic, cold starts, and fluctuating temperatures.
