What Is the Difference Between Conventional & Synthetic Oil?

There are a lot of misconceptions about just what synthetic oil is. Contrary to what the name might have you think, not all synthetic oil is synthesized in a lab. While this is the case for some synthetic oil, other types of synthetic oil are actually petroleum-based, just like conventional oil. The difference lies in the refining method. With proprietary techniques, companies that manufacture synthetic oil are able to achieve greater purity in the oil, including a uniform molecular size and structure.

Is Motorcraft Synthetic Better For Your Engine Than Conventional?

Yes, Motorcraft synthetic oil is better than conventional oil. For one thing, the uniform molecular size and decreased impurities means that synthetic oil does an even better job at keeping your engine well lubricated. It holds up to the high heat of the engine better, and it can flow better in cold weather. Synthetic oil usually includes detergent additives. These help clean your engine while simultaneously lubricating it, making it even better.

Is Synthetic Oil Longer-Lasting?

Synthetic oil does indeed last longer than conventional oil. Because it stands up to high heat better, it takes longer for the oil itself to break down. This can help offset the greater cost of synthetic oil, since you won't need oil changes as often as you would with conventional.

I've Been Using Conventional Oil; Can I Switch to Synthetic Oil?

Generally, switching to synthetic oil from conventional is completely safe. However, if you're driving a vintage Ford, you might want to check with a service advisor before making the switch.
