We all mean well really, we do. But, have you
ever thought about how you really treat your vehicle You meant to get
the oil changed, but that was 2,000 miles ago—you just got busy. You
were running late, so you punched the gas at those stop lights—you know
it’s tough on your engine, but you were in a hurry. Take a moment to
consider how you really drive—now don’t you want the best protection
possible for your engine.Your vehicle is one of the biggest investments you will ever make, and
it requires maintenance to keep it running properly.
Regular oil changes
are an important part of maintenance, and compared to the cost of the
vehicle and unscheduled repair work, oil changes are inexpensive. But did you know for only a few dollars more you can upgrade your
conventional oil change to a synthetic oil change Synthetic oil is the
best possible engine oil you can choose for one of your biggest
investments. Modern driving conditions and today’s high-tech, hard-working engines
are rough on engine oil. Most Americans drive under what are known as
"severe” conditions. These conditions include stop-and-go traffic, short
trips, excessive idling, towing, hauling, racing, or driving in
extremely hot or cold weather. If you drive in any of these conditions,
you can consider yourself a severe driver. Being a severe driver isn’t
bad. It just means you need to follow a different set of maintenance
requirements for your vehicle, and you can find these requirements in
your owners manual.
Severe driving conditions put enormous amounts of stress on your oil and
your engine, but using synthetic oil at any stage in your vehicle’s
life can protect your engine from the hazards of real-life driving. A synthetic oil change is performed in the exact same way and takes the
same amount of time as a conventional oil change. It’s only the
properties of the oil that makes it different.
Synthetic motor oil is a man-made engine lubricant. This oil is made
from very high quality base oils that are more advanced than those of
conventional oil. Because synthetic oil is highly processed, oil
engineers can specially create this oil to meet your vehicle’s specific
needs. Engine protection is one of the main concerns addressed by
synthetic oil, and if you want to keep your investment for the coming
years, it should be one of your main concerns, too.
A study conducted by marketing research firm AutoPacific found that 59
percent of new-car buyers plan to keep their vehicle more than four
years. If you are among this majority, it is a comfort to know that
synthetic oil can help reduce your risk of engine repairs and keep your
vehicle running properly for years to come. Engines are expensive and repair work on engines is expensive, but your
peace of mind is priceless,” said Timothy Miranda, senior engineer for
BP Lubricants. "Synthetic engine oil provides the ultimate in engine
protection at a small increase in cost.”
If you are likely to go a few hundred—or thousand—miles over on your oil
change interval, or if your driving often gets mistaken for Dale
Earnhardt Jr.’s, just consider the strain this puts on your engine. For a
few extra dollars, upgrade your oil change to a synthetic oil change
and rest assured your engine is protected now and well into the future.
