How often should fully synthetic engine oil be changed for car maintenance?
1 Answers
Fully synthetic engine oil for car maintenance should generally be changed once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. However, the actual interval depends on the vehicle's driving conditions, and you can also rely on your sense of the car's performance to judge. If you notice significant engine vibration and louder engine noise, it's time to visit a 4S shop for an oil change as soon as possible. Fully synthetic engine oil is a high-grade lubricant derived from ethylene and propylene, which are separated from natural gas or crude oil gas. These components undergo complex chemical reactions such as polymerization and catalysis to form a lubricating fluid composed of large molecules. The molecules in fully synthetic oil are neatly arranged, giving it strong resistance to external variables. As a result, it has superior performance, with much better thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and viscosity stability compared to mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil.
