Understanding the difference between synthetic and conventional oil may save you an extra trip to the dealership. Every engine requires a certain type of oil for its basic functions. Whether your vehicle runs on a synthetic blend of oil or straight conventional, comprehending the difference between both is a must for vehicle owners. Conventional oil is used to prevent damage to your vehicle's engine. Adding lubrication, the oil reduces engine build up and harmful dirt from clogging your vehicle. Conventional oil is often described as dark and thick. Synthetic oil combines conventional oil and special additives. These additives are used to boost the performance of the synthetic oil. Engines which require conventional oil may not perform well with the loose synthetic oil. It’s important to consult your owner’s manual to distinguish which type of oil is necessary for your vehicle. Here at Philpott Toyota we will also have knowledge of the necessary type of oil for your vehicle.
