A Synthetic Oil Change Can Prevent Engine Problems

More often cars are breaking down due to engine wrecks, and this is not exactly because of manufacturing problems. It seems that with so many advances in oil technology we would experience less motor problems, however having the solution does not always mean that the solution will be used. That is why at Northern Synthetics we urge you to start using synthetic oil today.

Get a Synthetic Oil Change so Your Engine Can Stay Protected

Synthetic oil is the solution to many engine damages, and even though it is now more accessible, just knowing its an option is not enough. Now more than ever your really need to go and get that synthetic oil change so you can start experiencing the benefits of synthetic oil. Winter is closing in and the time of year when all engines are most exposed to damages is in the cold season. This is because inside the engine are many pieces and structures that are in constant motion as soon as the engine is started and continue to move as the car is being driven. The constant motion and movement between these parts requires lubrication, otherwise the pieces would scrape against one another and quickly wear out or break. The most important function of the motor oil is to always keep these parts lubricated and protected against friction. Contact us for more information on the right synthetic oil for the job.

Not All Engine Oils Are Created Equal

The problem is that not all motor oils are created equal and thus they do not all offer the same protection and coverage all the time. One of the most dangerous factors that causes conventional motor oils to lose its protective properties is the temperature. Both intense heat or cold alter the way that regular motor oils react inside the engine. Synthetic oil however is not affected by any extreme temperature or other factors. Unlike petroleum based motor oils that break down in high temperatures and begin to loose important properties and decompose, synthetic oil can withstand extremely high temperatures without affecting its chemical structure or ability to lubricate effectively.

Synthetic Oil Offers Supreme Friction Protection in the Cold

In lower degrees and more chilly temperatures synthetic oil is able to continue  flowing effectively to cover the engine parts and lubricate them. However, almost all regular motor oils will thicken if not freeze at during the cold winter mornings and will expose the engine to dangerous friction damages when the engine is started. This is also know as cold engine starts, in which the engine is faced to run on little to no lubrication and the engine pieces scrape against one another. This is a problem caused when using conventional motor oil because the oil tends to thicken and not be able to flow, needing to warm up before it can sufficiently pump throughout the engine parts.
