Full Synthetic Oil and Filter Change: Key to a Healthy Engine at Tasca Kia Johnston

Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your vehicle running smoothly. At Tasca Kia Johnston, we recommend using full synthetic oil due to its many benefits. Here’s why it’s important and how often you should change your oil and filter.

Why Full Synthetic Oil is Important

Full synthetic oil provides better protection and performance than conventional oils. Here’s why it’s essential for your car:

Enhanced Engine Protection: It offers superior lubrication, reducing friction and wear on engine parts, which is vital for modern engines with higher performance demands.

Better Temperature Stability: Synthetic oils maintain their viscosity across a wide range of temperatures, ensuring reliable protection in both extreme heat and cold.

Cleaner Engine: With fewer impurities and better additives, synthetic oils help prevent sludge and deposits, keeping your engine cleaner over time.

Improved Fuel Efficiency: Superior lubrication can reduce engine friction, potentially improving fuel efficiency.

When to Change Your Oil and Filter

The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle and driving habits. Here are some general guidelines:

Standard Recommendations: Most manufacturers, including Kia, recommend changing the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles with full synthetic oil. Check your owner’s manual for the most accurate information.

Severe Driving Conditions: If you often drive in extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, or dusty environments, you might need to change your oil and filter every 5,000 miles.

Monitoring Oil Life: Many modern cars have an oil life monitoring system that alerts you when it’s time for an oil change, taking into account your driving conditions and habits.

Benefits of Full Synthetic Oil

Using full synthetic oil offers several benefits for your engine’s longevity and performance:

Extended Engine Life: Reducing wear and tear on engine components helps extend the overall life of your engine.

Consistent Performance: Synthetic oils maintain their properties better over time, ensuring consistent engine performance between changes.

Lower Maintenance Costs: Although more expensive initially, synthetic oil can reduce overall maintenance costs by extending oil change intervals and reducing engine wear.

Environmental Benefits: Less frequent oil changes mean less oil waste, and better fuel efficiency reduces your vehicle’s carbon footprint.

Importance of Oil Filter Replacement

Replacing the oil filter during an oil change is crucial because:

Captures Contaminants: The oil filter traps dirt and debris that can accumulate in the engine oil, preventing them from circulating and causing damage.

Maintains Oil Quality: A clean filter ensures that only clean oil circulates through the engine, maintaining the quality and effectiveness of the synthetic oil.

Prevents Engine Wear: By keeping the oil free of contaminants, the filter helps reduce engine wear and extends the life of engine components.
