Types of Oil Change at Tindol Ford Near Charlotte, NC

There used to be one type of oil change that was a blanket service for all types of vehicles. As vehicles have evolved and changed, oil changes have evolved to keep up. There are four basic types of oil change to choose from.

  • Full Synthetic - Synthetic oil is the gold standard when it comes to automotive oil changes. Specifically synthesized to meet your vehicle's needs, synthetic oil has a more even molecular structure than conventional oil and comes with additional detergent additives. Full synthetic oil costs more than conventional oil during the actual service, but it can help you save money in the long run. This is because you can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between full synthetic oil changes!

  • Conventional - This type of oil change uses conventional oil. It is the least expensive oil change and is often the go-to when it comes to oil changes. This type of change is good for 3,000 miles or three months.

  • Semi-Synthetic - This type of oil change uses a combination of synthetic and conventional oil and provides some of the benefits of a full synthetic oil change at a slightly lower price. Thanks to its mixture of conventional and synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil can be changed about every 5,000 miles.

  • Diesel - If you drive a Ford with a diesel engine, it will require special diesel oil. When compared to the oil used for gas engines, diesel oil is more viscous; it also has additional anti-wear additives that are required for the specific needs of your diesel engine.

Why Oil Changes Matter

Oil is a vital fluid for your vehicle. Without oil, the moving parts of your engine will grind against one another, causing massive damage from friction that would soon lead to your engine being destroyed. Engine oil is what keeps this from happening; however, it will not last forever. Even the highest-quality synthetic oil will eventually begin to break down under the heat and pressure that the engine creates. To make sure your engine stays lubricated, you should have the oil changed at the recommended intervals.

 

What Happens If You Don't Get Oil Changes On Time

As stated above, engines that do not have oil are going to undergo serious damage. This goes for engines with old oil, as well. The engine may appear to be fine for a while after a missed oil change; however, even an engine that seems fine may suffer a shortened lifespan due to friction damage. If you go too long between oil changes, the damage won't be hard to see anymore: your engine will stop working. An oil change is a fast and simple service that can make a world of difference in the way that your car runs and in how long it lasts.
