The Importance of Volkswagen Synthetic Oil Change Service – Synthetic Oil vs Regular Oil

When it comes to the actual physical process of draining the old oil and replacing it with new, there is no difference between synthetic and traditional oil. What is different is the frequency at which the oil is changed. Synthetic oil lasts much longer than traditional oil, which typically had to be changed at least every 5,000 miles, and that was pushing its useful life, about 3,000 miles was a better option to assure the longest life the vehicle could achieve. Synthetic oil can go about 10,000 miles between changes, although that depends on the make and model of car and brand of oil used, so it’s always best to follow the technician’s advice about when to schedule the next oil change.

Why Synthetic Oil Needs to Be Changed

Synthetic oil lasts longer because it is structured better on the molecular level to withstand the heat and friction which occurs inside a vehicle’s engine. It is more expensive than traditional oil per oil change but evens out the price over time. If synthetic oil is used either because of owner preference for not having to change the oil as often or because the make of vehicle recommends synthetic, it becomes much more important not to skip or postpone the service. Because it isn’t changed as often, a technician doesn’t have the chance to inspect the oil and the system as often, meaning a small leak or other problems can go unnoticed and cause more damage if the service isn’t performed as scheduled.

What Happens When Oil Isn’t Properly Changed

Oil changes have long been considered the number one process toward getting the longest life out of a vehicle. The oil helps lubricate and cool moving parts in the engine; this causes the oil to break down or burn over time. At that point, the engine has to work harder to provide the same level of performance as before, and the grinding of metal parts as they move against each other can lead to them wearing down prematurely.
