What Do Oil Changes Do?
The moving metal components in your engine need to stay lubricated in order to avoid damage, and that’s what engine oil does. But oil doesn’t do too well in the extreme high heat of your engine, and will break down over time. If you don’t get an oil change, your engine won’t perform well and may suffer damage. That’s why oil changes are necessary. When we drain the old oil and replace it with new Ford-approved oil (while also replacing the old filter with a new OEM oil filter), we’re protecting your engine and giving it a longer lifespan.
What Is Semi-Synthetic Oil?
In short: semi-synthetic oil, also called synthetic blend, is a mixture of conventional and synthetic oil.
Conventional engine oil is a type of mineral oil that’s been refined from crude oil. It does a good job at keeping your engine lubricated, and it’s cheaper than other types of oil. However, it doesn’t last as long and doesn’t provide as much engine protection. In addition, it can also take a while for it to start flowing in cold weather.
Synthetic oil has been further refined, distilled, and purified to clear it of the impurities that can be present in conventional oil. Detergents are added to help keep your engine cleaner. It lasts longer, provides better performance, and works better in the cold than conventional oil. However, it also costs more.
So, semi-synthetic oil combines some of the benefits of both types. It isn’t as expensive as full synthetic oil, but it’s better for the engine than pure conventional oil.
