Synthetic Oil Replacement Basics
Synthetic motor oil is as crucial to your vehicle as the engine itself. It provides multiple benefits, including:
- Lubricate engine parts
- Clean debris from the engine
- Keep the engine cool
- Provide protection from wear
Synthetic oil, in particular, can resist oxidation better than other types of oils and continue protecting your vehicle for longer.
Without synthetic motor oil rushing through your engine, the following can happen:
- Engine overheating
- Corrosion
- Engine wear
- Reduced performance
It's especially important to get your synthetic motor oil changed regularly when you're driving a high-performance luxury vehicle. You're likely to notice performance changes easily when you're used to your car responding to your commands. To keep it running this well, you'll need to schedule periodic synthetic motor oil replacements. Â
When Should You Get a Synthetic Oil Replacement?
Fortunately, most vehicles nowadays have an oil life monitoring system to let you know when it's time to schedule a synthetic oil replacement. This system will alert you when your motor oil is approaching the end of its life so that you have time to schedule a replacement appointment.
Depending on your model and driving habits, your synthetic motor oil will last between 10,000 and 15,000 miles. In some cases, you might be able to get 20,000 miles or more of use before needing a replacement.
However, your car might show signs of needing a synthetic oil replacement before your oil life monitor alerts you. Here are some symptoms that you might notice:
- Reduced fuel economy
- Loud engine sounds
- Low engine oil
- Engine overheating
- Shaking when idle
When you notice any of these signs, take your vehicle to our service center.
