Semi-Synthetic Oil Change Service

Semi-Synthetic Oil and Change Maintenance

Semi-synthetic oil has a blended composition of both conventional and synthetic motor oils. The unique composition gives semi-synthetic motors some of the same characteristics and lubrication benefits as Full-synthetic motors but at a lower price. Semi-synthetic oil has additives that help advance oxidation and resistance to thermal breakdown. Semi-synthetic oil has a 5,000 to 7,5000-mile change interval.

Should I Use Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil?

The semi-synthetic motor is recommended if the driver wants a motor oil that works better in lower temperatures and resists oxidation but wants to avoid synthetic oil’s premium price. Semi-synthetic oil is generally recommended for trucks, vans, and SUVs operating in moderate driving conditions. Semi-synthetic is also popular among drivers with higher-mileage vehicles lubricated by conventional oil. Introducing semi-synthetic oil improves lubrication, protects internal components, and extends engine life.

Avoid Late Oil Change Consequences

Putting off an oil change recommended at a specified miles invites engine troubles. Avoid these late oil change consequences by getting oil changes when instructed in the owner’s manual:

• Engine runs hotter due to broken-down oil, causing increased friction
• Premature internal component wear and tear
• Increased repair costs
• Reduced reliability
• Shorter engine life
