Thinking of trading up to a synthetic?
Why
Is It Important to Use a Synthetic Oil That Cleans?
Simply put, a
cleaner engine is better protected and more responsive. It's a fact of
life that all engines generate contaminants. Contaminants such as soot,
carbon, and sulfuric and nitric acid are inevitable byproducts of the
combustion process. And all of them end up in your motor oil to varying
degrees. So the question isn't whether you need an oil that cleans, but
how well your oil cleans the dirt and deposits your engine generates.
Why Trade Up to a Full Synthetic Oil?
Part of the job of an engine oil is to suspend the contaminants within the oil until your next oil change. It's a fairly daunting task for engine oil to suspend all the contaminants thrown at it; the truth is that full synthetic motor oils like Pennzoil Ultra? and Pennzoil Platinum® do a better job of preventing deposits on engine surfaces than conventional oils and synthetic blends can do. In fact, both motor oils exceed certain cleanliness standards that conventional oils and synthetic blends just can't meet.*

The 5 Myths of Synthetic Oil
Myth:
Once you switch to synthetic oil you can never switch back. This is one
of the most persistent myths about synthetic oil-and completely untrue.
You can switch back and forth at any time. In fact, synthetic blends
are simply a mixture of synthetic and conventional oils. It is advisable
that you use the same oil for top-ups if needed, thereby giving you the
best protection from the oil that you have chosen.
Myth: You shouldn't
use synthetic oil in an older vehicle. The myth is rooted in the idea
that synthetic oil is "slipperier," lower in viscosity, or not as
compatible with seals and will therefore leak or leak more in places
conventional oil might not. Again, completely untrue. Synthetic oils
will enhance the engine protection in older vehicles just as they do for
new engines.
Myth: You should break in your engine with conventional
oil before you start using synthetic oil. Again, there's no manufacturer
we're aware of that makes this recommendation. Mercedes, Porsche,
Corvette, some Cadillacs, Volkswagen, Hyundai and many other
manufacturers' cars come from the factory with synthetic oil.
Myth:
Using a synthetic oil voids a car's warranty. Untrue. The only engines
that specifically exclude the use of a synthetic motor oil are some
Mazda rotary engines.
Myth: Synthetics made from Group III base oils are not true synthetics and are not as good as PAO-based synthetics in Group IV. Again, untrue. Synthetics made from Group III oil can, in some cases, outperform those made in Group IV oils in some areas of performance.
