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
