Synthetic breakdown

Synthetic lubricants 
 Synthetic- syn·thet·ic

sinˈTHetik/

adjective: (of a substance) made by chemical synthesis, esp. to imitate a natural product.

"synthetic rubber" or “synthetic oil”

 Just because it says synthetic doesn't make it better. 

 

News flash: sometimes labeling can be just for sales hype- I know this revolting revelation took you by surprise, but in this case, its alarmingly funny. 

OIL: The Good, The Bad, and The Swamp Sludge...

With todays' topic, we are going do dive into a bit of a slippery subject- engine oil and oil changes. We have been told for years that oil changes need to happen every 3000 miles, but why?  All oils are slippery right, so is there really that much difference between oils and how they perform?  I wish I could, in good conscience, say that whatever oil you pour into your engine is fine. I wish I could say that oil changes don't matter and it also doesn't matter what kind of filter you use, or how often you change it.  Sorry, No can do.
