There are lots of factors to consider when it comes to a Jeep® oil change at Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM. The type of oil you use is one of them. We’re diving into all the details of synthetic oil to help you determine if it’s right for you.
What’s Synthetic Oil Made From?
At its base, synthetic oil is typically a crude oil. However, it contains artificially made chemical components, such as petroleum components, to help enhance its quality. These additives can vary, depending on the manufacturer.
How Often Do You Change It?
Keeping your engine clean is one of synthetic oil’s primary purposes, although that makes it dirty as it collects contaminants. So, even though it is better quality than conventional oil, you still have to change it routinely, though not as frequently. On average, it will need to be replaced every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. We suggest that you check your owner’s manual for a specific guideline.
Do I Need Synthetic Oil?
Synthetic oil was originally recommended for high-performance vehicles to provide better protection for their engines. However, many drivers opt to utilize synthetic oil because of all of its benefits. Synthetic oil is typically recommended for Jeep SUVs, depending on their age and condition.
What are the Perks?
Conventional oil is typically thin at high temperatures, but synthetic oil’s additives help to keep it thick, no matter what. This provides better protection for your engine and limits wear. Plus, since it’s less likely to oxidize, acidify, or break down, it doesn’t need to be replaced as often as conventional oil.
