Conventional vs. Synthetic Motor Oil

Schedule Oil Change

Everyone knows you need to get your oil changed, but are you wondering about conventional vs. synthetic motor oil? The different types of motor oil can be confusing, and you can learn all about it at Elgin Toyota, located conveniently in Streamwood near Schaumburg.

Benefits of Synthetic Oil

Synthetic oil is engineered to perform well in extremely high temperatures without breaking down. It also lasts for a very long time, so although synthetic oil is made from chemicals that can harm the environment, you don't have to change it as often. As you might guess, synthetic oil costs more, but it's probably worth it in the long run. Other benefits versus conventional oil include:

• Cleaner because it's made in a lab

• Vaporizes exhaust more slowly

• Produces less resistance in the engine, offering more horsepower and efficiency
