Synthetic Oil vs Conventional

Curious about the engineering put into your Mercedes-Benz vehicle? One area you’re likely aware of is your engine’s oil, as it’s an area that plays a prominent role in the premium performance you’ll enjoy when behind the wheel.

Mercedes-Benz models up the ante on performance here, too, running on synthetic oil rather than traditional motor oil. How does this distinction promote premium performance around Manchester, Nashua, and Bedford, NH? Find out with the help of our team here at Mercedes-Benz of Manchester as we explore the differences of synthetic oil vs. conventional oil.

Difference Between Synthetic Oil and Conventional

So, how are synthetic oil and conventional oil different? Well, on the surface, they serve the same purpose. As you dig deeper, though, you’ll find a difference in their molecular structure.

Starting with conventional oil, it’s just crude oil that has been pulled out of the ground, refined, and repurposed for vehicle use. Synthetic oil, though, is manmade. Rather, it’s a manufactured product that usually combines modified petroleum components and other materials.

As they’re different chemically speaking, they’re also different from a performance standpoint. In fact, you’ll find synthetic oil is much better overall. It’s engineered to remain fluid at low temperatures and is able to remain stable at higher temperatures, allowing it to last much longer as it works within your vehicle’s powertrain.

Fortunately, all Mercedes-Benz models feature this synthetic blend, providing a more premium performance. What does this mean? Well, it means you’ll be able to drive your vehicle much longer before its oil needs attention. Usually, you can expect your vehicle’s oil to need service every 10,000 miles or so.

When that time does come, we’ll be able to help here at our Mercedes-Benz service center. Just schedule an appointment, bring in your model, and our trained technicians will work to have the job done efficiently and effectively.
