Why Use Synthetic Oil ?
It's Better And Less Expensive !
• Longer engine and component life due to less friction compared with petroleum
• Easier cold winter starts & quicker oil flow resulting in substantially less engine wear
• Greater lubrication from low winter temperatures to hot desert highway conditions
• Cooler running engines (up to 50 degree temperature reduction) due to less friction
• Less deposit & sludge formation
• Convenience of longer oil drain intervals (up to 25,000 miles) that save time & money
• An average 4% improvement in fuel economy saves you money
• Less waste disposal & ground water pollution due to longer drain intervals
• Reduced oil consumption & emissions for a cleaner environment
