There actually are key differences between synthetic and conventional oils, even though you can slip on both of them. Synthetic oils are produced by scientists in a lab, instead of being pulled from the ground like conventional oils. Synthetic molecular structures are purer, more uniform, and less volatile than those found in conventional, organic oil. Choosing between the two can affect not only your car’s engine, but also your pocketbook and the environment. Synthetic Oil Excels in West Columbia, SC specializes in AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and can help you decide if synthetic is a better option for your car, motorcycle, or fleet.

More Efficient

Synthetics’ purer, lighter, more uniform molecules make it easier for them to slip across each other. The less friction your motor oil produces, the more efficient your engine can be. This efficiency shows itself in less wear on your engine, lower fuel consumption, and longer-lasting oil. Using less energy saves you money and keeps the environment clean. ; ;

Longer Lasting

The stable molecular structure of synthetic oils breaks down slower and lasts longer than conventional oils. With conventional oil, we are taught to change fluid every 3,000 miles. ;Synthetics can last from 10,000 to 15,000 miles, three to five times longer. Fewer oil changes means less time lost to maintenance, lower disposal costs, and less contaminated oil deposited in the environment.

Year-Long Performance

Conventional oils thicken in the cold and evaporate in heat, while synthetics maintain consistent viscosity despite the weather. There are other extreme conditions besides weather that can affect how well your motor oil performs. Hauling large loads and operating equipment for long intervals of time create heat that can hamper a conventional lubricant’s effectiveness. Because synthetic oils are more heat-resistant, they perform better in these circumstances.
