Regular driving in The Colony causes your Volkswagen to require regular maintenance to keep it operating safely and responsively. One of the most common maintenance items all car owners are familiar with is regular oil changes. A Volkswagen synthetic oil change involves having your old oil drained and replaced with new oil (and often a new filter) by a Volkswagen-certified professional.
As you drive to and from Little Elm, your engine’s oil is under a great deal of heat and pressure. Over a long enough period of time, your synthetic oil starts to break down, losing its ability to keep your engine parts lubricated. Any additional additives your oil may add also break down, and the protective or useful features they offer are lost due to this. Old oil is dangerous as it can lead to overheating, stalling, reduced performance, and over the long run engine damage, which leads to expensive repairs.
Synthetic oil is an engine lubricant developed in a laboratory and, while often based on petroleum or petroleum byproducts, is considered an artificial oil. Because synthetics are highly advanced, they offer many useful features for your car’s engine, including a long usage lifespan, increased performance in extreme heat or cold, and additional additives that help your engine run better and last longer.
When purchasing oil from an automotive parts store in Plano, one of the first things you’ll notice is the wide selection of oil brands and types to choose from. One area of interest is how synthetic oil compares to conventional oils. Synthetic oils are notable for lasting longer than conventional oils. Synthetic oil will last up to 10,000 miles while conventional oil only lasts 3,000 to 5,000 miles before it needs changing. Synthetics also perform better in extreme weather and contain additional additives which help clean your engine and prevent build up.
When you search for an oil change in Frisco or nearby Lewisville, you will find many different options to choose from, including independent mechanics, dealerships with onsite servicing, and nationwide oil change franchises. However, not all of these choices offer the same level of quality service and convenience that you deserve. At Hendrick Volkswagen Frisco, we are a fully-certified and experienced Volkswagen shop that can provide top-of-the-line service to keep your car running at its best. We also try to help you save money, so be sure to ask about our current oil change coupons.
