What is the advantage of using a synthetic oil?
Synthetic and semi-synthetic motor oils provide a variety of benefits over conventional motor oil, including added increased performance and engine protection, improved gas mileage, and increased deposit control. Commuters can use synthetic and semi-synthetic oils to guard against the rigors of today’s stop and go traffic. According to Castrol, virtually all manufacturers approve the use of synthetic or semi-synthetic oils that meet American Petroleum Institute (API) quality requirements. Only Mazda recommends against the use of synthetic or semi-synthetic oils in their rotary engines due to possible seal damage.
