Choosing the right oil for your vehicle in Lethbridge
Differences between oil types Synthetic, Synthetic Blend, Conventional
Conventional oil
Conventional oil is your old fashioned dinosaur oil that has been used for lubrication for many many years. Despite being older technology you can still walk into any parts store or supermakert in Lethbridge and pick up a jug or two to finish your oil change. While typically being lower in cost compared to a synthetic or synthetic blend oil that is where the benefits end.
Synthetic Oil
Synthetic Oil technology improved upon conventional oil in many ways, starting at the molecular level. Synthetic oils remove many of the impurities found in conventional engine motor oil. The molecular structure of the oil is pure and uniform providing better protection to your engine, better fuel economy, and a higher operating temperature limit.
What about synthetic blends?
Synthetic blend engine motor oil has been introduced as a compromise between cost and the full benefits of Synthetic motor oil. Synthetic blend is exactly as it sounds a mixture of synthetic oils and conventional motor oils. A lower cost than synthetic but you don't get the full benefits of a full synthetic motor oil.
