Types of Buick GMC Oil Changes

Your engine contains hundreds of moving parts, each requiring effective lubrication to prevent bare metal contact, decrease friction and reduce heat buildup. Choosing the right motor oil is crucial for keeping your vehicle performing at its peak. Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Kansas City offers oil changes with three types of oil to choose from, with each blend formulated to deliver optimal performance

Conventional

Conventional oil existed long before the advent of semi-synthetic and full synthetic blends. It also remains the most common blend of oil recommended for most vehicles. Formulated in a broad range of quality levels and viscosity grades, conventional oil offers sufficient protection against excessive wear for most engines and is suitable for ordinary driving styles. It’s also worth noting that conventional oil is also the least expensive of the three blends listed, although it also offers the shortest lifespan. Conventional oil typically lasts between changes.

Conventional Oil

    Semi-Synthetic

    Semi-synthetic oil is simply a mixture of fully synthetic and conventional motor oil. This unique blend gives semi-synthetic oil improved resistance to oxidation and improved performance at low temperatures when compared to conventional oil. Semi-synthetic oils also cost less than comparable full synthetic oils. However, semi-synthetic oil performance still pales in comparison to fully synthetic oils. Most semi-synthetic blends can go 6,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes.

    Semi-Synthetic

      Full Synthetic 

      Unlike conventional motor oil, full synthetic oil is chemically engineered to offer significantly improved performance under extreme temperatures while containing far fewer impurities. Thanks to their uniform molecules, fully synthetic oils also offer improved lubricating properties. Durability is also vastly improved, with some brands capable of lasting 10,000 miles between oil changes. Today’s modern engines are being increasingly designed with synthetic oils in mind.
