As vehicles evolve, more drivers are considering the switch from conventional to synthetic oil. At Hulett, we’re frequently asked about transitioning to synthetic oil, and we’re here to provide expert guidance on this important decision for your vehicle’s health.
Understanding Synthetic Oil Advantages
Modern synthetic oils represent a significant advancement in engine protection and performance. Unlike conventional oils, synthetic formulations offer enhanced capabilities that can benefit your engine in several ways:
- Superior engine protection and lubrication, especially during extreme temperature conditions
- Improved resistance to thermal breakdown, ensuring longer-lasting performance
- Better engine cleanliness through advanced additives and formulation
- Extended intervals between oil changes, potentially saving you time and money
The Transition Process: What You Need to Know
Before making the switch to synthetic oil, consider these essential steps to ensure a smooth transition:
1. Owner’s Manual Verification
Your vehicle’s manual is the ultimate authority on oil compatibility. Always verify that synthetic oil meets your manufacturer’s specifications before proceeding with the change.
2. Selecting the Right Product
With numerous synthetic oil options available, choosing the correct formulation is crucial. Factors like your vehicle’s age, driving conditions, and manufacturer recommendations should guide your selection.
3. Professional Installation
During the transition, both oil and filter replacement is recommended. Our GM Certified Technicians at Hulett ensure proper installation and can recommend the ideal synthetic oil for your specific vehicle.
4. Post-Change Monitoring
After switching to synthetic oil, pay attention to:
- Oil consumption patterns
- Any unusual leaks
- Engine performance changes
Maintaining Consistency
