Synthetic Oils are now coming in more and more vehicles as standard fills and consumers are loving the convenience of extended drain intervals. You can expect synthetic lubricants to outpace the sales of petroleum oils in the years to come. So what's the big deal about synthetic oil? For starters some synthetic oil manufacturer's are actually guaranteeing a specific oil drain intervals. Some as high as 25,000 miles and others are starting to experiment with 10,000 to 15,000 miles. At any rate the facts are starting to show that synthetic oils can easily withstand drain intervals well past the typical 3,000 mile drain intervals that some quick lubes still try to preach. The conflicting information on when is the best time to change your oil can go from one end to the other, so who do you believe? The United States will sooner or later be following what all of Europe has been doing for decades. Oil change intervals in all of Europe are a generous 25,000 miles or 1 year. So now you see why synthetic oil more then likely be a factory fill in most new cars. In fact you will probably see this day come well within the next 10 years. Most consumers today are leaning towards convenience and paying slightly higher prices for high quality synthetic oil. Longer drain intervals not only make practical sense, but the longer we can stretch drain intervals then the less waste oil there is to dispose of. GM is about to introduce a brand new oil spec in the next coming months that will have nearly their entire fleet on extended oil drains. And what happens when one manufacturer goes out on a limb with a new concept? Other manufacturer's are sure to follow GM's lead. In Europe drivers experience the same drain interval no matter kind of car they drive, typically 20,000+ miles. Although the United States has been far behind the rest of the world in developing high quality synthetic oils, they are now catching up. If you do some research you will see there are a few reputable synthetic oil manufacturer's already producing superior synthetic lubricants. Do your own research and listen to others that already have experience with extended drain intervals. Once you see the dramatic performance difference you will become a believer. Since entering the synthetic oil industry in 1996 our company has made some far out predictions over the years and every single one of them has come true. No one believed us when we said the 3,000 mile oil change interval would be extinct, but as most can plainly see that day is already here. It's fairly safe to say that synthetic oils will be the standard to which all oils will be compared? Hardly not, we see this as a very conservative estimate, but you don't have to wait any longer to start experiencing the benefits of high quality synthetic lubricants.
