A few years ago, it was difficult to find synthetic motor oils, and equally difficult to
find someone who admitted to using them. Nowadays, however, you can find synthetic motor
oils on the shelves of Wal-Mart, and other retailers, and the number of people turning to
synthetic motor oils, particularly in light of the recent events affecting fuel prices, has
risen greatly.
So why do people use synthetic motor oils rather than sticking with the old petroleum based
stand-bys which are admittedly cheaper?
1. Let's start with the cost per quart issue. Synthetic motor oils ARE more expensive at
purchase. However, these oils last longer, requiring fewer oil changes. As a synthetic motor
oil outlasts several changes of petroleum based lubricants, the ultimate out-of-pocket cost
of the lubricant is less. This cost savings becomes even greater if you have someone else
change your oil for you rather than doing it yourself!
