Have you ever heard those quick lube places that all say “Change your oil every 300 miles!” yeah? Well that may not be the case, that is if you actually took the time to figure out that not all oil need to be swapped out at 3000 miles.
How can we accomplish this you may ask? Well being as that the majority of the oil companies design their oils to break down after 3000 miles. The mineral oil that we all use on a day to day basis driving is not designed to last. Fortunately there are oils out there that people may not know about that will make you able to drive up to 25,000 to 30,000 miles on one oil cycle! Crazy right but its true, it’s called fully-synthetic oil. The first company to come out with fully-synthetic oil for an automobile is the AMSOIL Corporation. Being that they were the first ones to start out with it, they obviously have the most experience with creating quality synthetic oil.
Overall once again these companies are at work to figure out how to suck us dry of our money. We need to stay educated on the different alternatives out there so one day we can all have things that can last for a more realistic period of time.
