Synthetic Oil Change Service
Synthetic Oil Change at Columbia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
An oil change is an important part of regular car maintenance. If you fail to change your Dodge, Jeep, or Ram's oil at the recommended intervals, then you risk serious engine problems in the future. Fortunately, if you live or work in the Columbia, IL area then Columbia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is the perfect place to help you keep your vehicle in top shape.
Purposes of an Oil Change Service
Oil is critical for your engine because its main purpose is to reduce friction and heat that would damage your engine otherwise. The oil keeps the internal temperatures down so that the engine doesn't melt and become useless. It also carries away contaminants that could cause premature wear. Failing to change the oil promptly can reduce your vehicle's gas mileage.
Differences Between Synthetic Oil and Conventional Oil
Conventional oil is basically "natural," or crude, oil that comes out of the ground through traditional drilling. These oils have excellent viscosity and have very few additives if any. Synthetic oil starts with a conventional oil base but is modified for better lubrication and protection. Synthetic oil includes many additives to improve performance and longevity.

Reasons to Use Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oil has superior lubrication and longevity when compared to conventional oil. Synthetic oil does not need to be changed as often as conventional and tends to keep your engine cleaner and reduce wear, so your engine may last longer. This type of oil provides excellent startup protection during extreme or cold weather, making it ideal for the varied climate of the east-central Missouri area.
Details of a Synthetic Oil Change
A synthetic oil change is similar to a conventional oil change. Your old oil is drained and refilled and the oil filter is exchanged. At the Columbia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram service department, we will also give your vehicle a multi-point inspection to make sure that your vehicle is in good shape and safe to drive.
