All About Conventional Oil

Conventional oil has been around as long as the internal combustion engine because it has always required an internal lubricant to generate drive power effectively and efficiently. Conventional oil has always been petroleum-based, which means it is produced using crude petroleum extracted from the ground. Today’s conventional oil has been advanced via refinement and contains additives that improve its lubricative performance and resistance of thermal breakdown. Conventional oil generally needs to be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending upon the recommendation found in the owner’s booklet.

Dangers of Extended Oil Changes

Extended oil changes are those that did not happen at the recommended miles. Missing an oil change interval can happen for a variety of reasons from simple mistake, forgetfulness, to negligence. No matter what the reason for driving beyond a scheduled oil change, it is never a good idea due to the dangers that you will invite to the engine as black sludge attempts to provide the lubrication it needs to generate drive power efficiently and effectively. Here are the proven dangers of extended oil changes:

• Decreased engine lubrication
• Increased engine friction and heat
• Excessive wear and tear on internal components
• Decreased fuel efficiency
• Decreased engine reliability
• Engine overheating
• Damaged parts needing repair
• Increased operational cost
