Synthetic oil uses an artificial blend of chemicals to achieve the same lubricative properties as regular crude. The mixture usually includes altered petroleum products and other raw ingredients to optimize vehicle performance - something that proves crucial for those on Alberta work-sites. If their new RAM trucks fail to deliver seamless power, then all operations could be interrupted. Here is why the synthetic option can be better than the regular variety for your next oil change - and why 1500, 2500, and 3500 drivers may find it invaluable on the job.Â
It doesn’t need to be changed as frequently.
You need to replace standard motor oil every 5,000-8,000 km (on average). This is because the lubricative properties break down, and the liquid can turn into sludge. Synthetic options, however, are resistant to this process, so they can last for 10,000-15,000 km - or even longer - without harming your engine.Â
Regular oil breaks down easily at higher temperatures.
If you leave your engine running (such as on a job site) or drive in warm conditions, synthetic lubrication will continue working, but crude could stop providing protection.Â
Synthetic products can also improve performance because of their superior lubricative properties. When it is time for an oil change, contact our Calgary service centre to discuss your options.
