A lot of people have wondered for a while about synthetic oil, what exactly it is, and why it's sold. Synthetic oil isn't really entirely synthetic. It is natural oil that has been processed, at a molecular level, with additives that will clean your engine. The oil itself will stay viscous and coat your engine's moving parts, even at higher engine temperatures. Extreme temperatures, such as extreme cold or heat, does not stop the additives from cleaning your engine, as it does with conventional oils. Synthetic oil is specifically formulated to keep your engine cleaner and remain more active in protecting your engine from friction at extreme temperatures.
If you think synthetic oil sounds better for you, contact your dealer or other professional and ask if it is a good idea for your car. Ask a trained professional at your dealer so that you know you are getting the right information from the correct source.
