Synthetic Oil vs. Conventional Oil in Canton, GA
When it comes to oil, there are a couple different types of motor oil you can choose from for your next service appointment at Cherokee County Toyota. Let's talk about the differences between conventional and synthetic oil so that you know which type of oil to ask for next time!
Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oil isn't just for sports cars anymore. Now it's used in all kinds of vehicles — even the one you're driving right now. Perfectly engineered to fit seamlessly into your engine, synthetic oil offers better gas mileage, engine protection and long-term use than conventional oil, since it's gone through additional distillation and purification processes to make it "just right" for your Toyota. Engineered to fight high temperatures and clean out residue deposits, synthetic oil enhances your engine's durability while protecting it from damage caused by impurities in traditional oil. Synthetic oil is the safe way to go when it comes to keeping your engine running like a champ.
Synthetic Blend Oil
Synthetic blend oil is a combination of conventional and synthetic oil, which means that it offers the quick-starting performance of synthetic oil while also providing some of the detergents found in conventional oil that clean the engine. This is a great option 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
The main difference between conventional and synthetic oil is how refined it is. Conventional oil comes in a variety of viscosity levels and lubricant qualities, but overall, it 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.
