Synthetic Motor Oil and Regular Change Maintenance Explained

The automotive industry treats full-synthetic motor oil as an engine lubrication technology. Although full-synthetic motor oil requires petroleum-based resources for production, the significant refinement renders an oil quite different than petroleum. Full-synthetic motor oil’s molecule is smaller, viscosity is thinner, and composition retention is better in the engine’s extreme friction and heat. Although synthetic motor oil is the best option for drivers wanting optimal long-term engine lubrication, the automotive industry hasn’t figured out how to make it last forever. Synthetic motor oil eventually succumbs to thermal breakdown and requires change service every 10,000 miles in normal conditions.

Certified Mopar® Synthetic Oil Change Overview

Service starts in our state-of-the-art facility as a certified technician drains the old oil and removes the spent oil filter from the engine. We inspect for oil leaks and other problems before installing the genuine OEM oil filter and OEM full-synthetic oil to the specified capacity. We reset the oil change monitoring system to conclude your service.

Extended Oil Change Risks

Full-synthetic oil generally requires change service every 10,000 miles unless you drive in harsh conditions. If you drive 12,000 miles before getting the oil changed, this equals a 2,000-mile extended oil change. During the 2,000-mile overage, the broken-down motor oil provides poor lubrication, exposing the internal components to increased friction and heat. Increased friction and heat lead to reduced fuel efficiency and premature component degradation. The ultimate consequences of extended oil changes are reduced reliability and shortened engine life.
