How do I switch my Buick Verano to synthetic oil

Does the latest statistics and conversation about synthetic oil have you scratching your head? What’s the difference? Why should I switch? How do I switch my Buick Verano to synthetic oil? These are all valuable questions that we hope to answer in this blog post. Read on to find out more about the benefits of synthetic oil.

There are lots of automotive people walking around talking about the benefits of switching to synthetic motor oil. Here are a few of them:

  1. It keeps your engine cleaner: Conventional oil can become a sludge as is gets dirtier which can decrease the efficiency of your engine. Synthetic oil is more pure and resists the formation of sludge.

  2. Increases engine life: Conventional oil loses it’s oily texture as it gets dirty and used. This means that the parts inside your engine are rubbing together and not protected. Synthetic oil retains it’s slippery abilities for much longer.

  3. Winter is no match for it: Cold weather makes oil much thicker and as a result, it doesn’t do it’s job very well until the engine is properly warmed up. Synthetic oil, on the other hand, works just as well in cold weather and keeps the engine running in top shape even in the midst of Wisconsin’s intense coldness.

  4. Less frequent oil changes: The synthetic oil stays cleaner, longer. This means that it can carry a car farther between oil changes.

So, what is the problem and why don’t we all just use synthetic oil? Well here are a few reasons why it’s a big choice to make.

  1. Once you go synthetic, you can’t go back! It’s a one-time switch over, so you need to make the decision and stick with it!

  2. It’s more expensive than conventional motor oil. You get this oil changed less frequently, but when you DO change it, it costs a little more. It evens out, but with an engine that runs more smoothly and less frequent oil changes, it just about pays for itself!

  3. Synthetic oils cannot fix a vehicle that is worn out or running poorly. It works best on newer vehicles.
