Synthetic Motor Oil How Often to Change By: Greg Johnson

The 3000 mile oil change has been ingrained into our minds since we were knee high to a grasshopper and has turned into a habit. Our grandfathers said Change your oil every 3000 miles and your engine will last forever.ì³Œ That was true then and will work now but is there a better way? Old habits are hard to break so lets examine the options.

The engines in our vehicles today are technological miracles compared to the 1955 straight sixes, the 1969 327's and the Hemi. The back yard mechanic could easily change the points, plugs, condenser, rotor and cap, complete and oil and filter change in an afternoon. He was good to go for the oil for another 3000 miles and 12,000 miles for the tuneup. Anyone who had a set of Craftsman tools could take a jab at it and do an adequate job.

Today just changing the spark plug is a four hour task when performed by a qualified mechanic. There are so many components squished into the engine compartment that three quarters of the job is removing and replacing them just to get access to the plugs. All this equipment under the hood has created an additional problem of dissipating the heat produced by the internal combustion of the engine. This heat must be reduced or removed somehow so what has been done technologically by the oil companies to address this? By considering our habit of oil changes and the oil industries desire to sell more oil, not much. They are happy to maintain the status quo for their bottom line but there is a better way.

What has been done technologically? A great deal. Synthetic motor oil is finally coming of age. Since 1877 chemists have been working on formulas to use chemically manufactured mass produced pure hydrocarbons to address the shortfalls of naturally occurring petroleum oil.

The life span of synthetic motor oil is significantly longer than its petroleum counterpart. The basestock is composed of equally sized molecules each designed for maximum friction reduction, high and low temperature stability, low volatility, the amount of boil off, high viscosity indexes and oxidative stability, thus creating a lubricant far superior to oil and giving us the opportunity to increase drain intervals up to and surpassing 30,000 miles. If you perform a regular engine oil analysis to make sure your engine is performing properly and the synthetic oil is maintaining its lubricating properties that number is essentially unlimited.

When we talk about synthetic motor oil the company that is the Ã¢â‚¬Å“first in syntheticsÃ¢â‚¬ì³Œ is Amsoil. Since 1972 Amsiol has been producing Synthetic Motor Oil capable of achieving 25,000 mile drain intervals and is the leader in the Synthetic Oil Revolution.
