Synthetic Oil vs. Conventional Oil in Kennesaw, GA
}
So what’s the difference? Most drivers know to change their oil regularly, but many don’t know which oil is best for their engine. Some may not know there is a difference — that’s why we’ve listed the various reasons (and explanations) of both so you know what type of oil to ask for during your next service appointment at Hyundai of Kennesaw. Keep reading below:
Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oil was once only used in high-performance sports cars, but is now utilized in more mainstream vehicles. That’s great news since synthetic oil offers better gas mileage, engine protection and long-term use than conventional oil. It’s gone through additional distillation and purification processes to remove impurities and to tailor individual molecules to better fit the design of our modern engines (like those found in your innovative new Hyundai). Synthetic oil will help your engine combat high temperatures and clean out residue deposits, all while enhancing your engine’s durability.
Synthetic Blend Oil
When you ask our service technicians for a synthetic blend oil, you’ll receive a mixture of synthetic and conventional oil combined. We recommend a synthetic blend oil for vehicles that carry heavy loads (like trucks) and frequently operate at a high RPM. High-mileage motor oil can also be included in this category, which is a specific blend that contains additives to meet the needs of vehicles that have racked up the miles (75,000 or more).
Conventional Oil
It comes in a variety of viscosity levels and lubricant qualities, but overall, conventional oil isn’t as refined as synthetic, which means it’ll break down quicker. But, it’s far cheaper than synthetic, and if you mainly use your vehicle for commuting to work or school, vacationing or running errands, conventional will fulfill your engine’s needs. No matter which oil you prefer, it’s best to know what your manufacturer requires for your car. Check your owner’s manual or ask our service technicians to ensure the oil that’s being placed in your vehicle is the right one for you.
