Semi-Synthetic Oil Change Service

Why Use Semi-Synthetic Oil?

Semi-synthetic oil is the middle ground between full synthetic and conventional motor oil. When compared to conventional motor oil a semi-synthetic oil change lasts longer and also protects your car better during heavy use and when starting your automobile. When compared to full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil doesn’t perform as well, or to the temperature extremes a full synthetic does. However, semi-synthetic oil is more affordable and still offers many advantages.

Signs You Need an Oil Change

Other signs include engine noises, increased exhaust smoke, shaking when your car is idling at a light or stop sign, reduced miles per gallon, and an overall reduction in your car’s performance.
