With thousands of options available, vehicle owners are often confused when it comes to their vehicle's oil. This very important detail is one of the most common overlooked aspects of a vehicle.
Standard oil often references the natural crude oil used for engines. This is the most common oil type found in stores. Synthetic oil is a blend of crude oil and other chemical compounds. A long scientific process is used to break down crude oil and combine it with other chemicals. Once completed, the synthetic oil is lighter in weight, less thick and more performance enhanced.
The ideal oil for your vehicle should be found in the owner's manual. It's always best to look for the correct type. Synthetic oil will fail to perform efficiently well on engines accustomed to heavily flowing standard oil. Providing lubrication for your engine, each type of oil differs between vehicle brands and engines.
