Semi-synthetic motor oil is a combination of conventional and full-synthetic base oils. The additional synthetic base stock describes why semi-synthetic oil offers improved performance compared to conventional. Semi-synthetic motor oil is often adopted by drivers that started with conventional but need advanced protection with higher miles to extend engine life. Semi-synthetic motor oil has an extended change schedule beyond conventional every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Drivers who want to improve engine protection around 75,000 miles often change from conventional to semi-synthetic oil. Even though semi-synthetic oil costs more, this slight premium is usually a profitable investment to improve lubrication, less frequent oil changes, and extended engine life. Here are the reasons semi-synthetic motor oil is often a better choice compared to conventional:
Higher mile oil changes occur after the recommended mileage interval, resulting in broken-down motor oil offering substandard lubrication to the engine’s moving parts. Inferior motor oil leads to increased friction and heat that reduces fuel efficiency and causes premature wear and tear. Components such as the head gasket are at an enhanced risk of damage that requires repair service to fix. Ultimately, higher mile oil changes reduce engine life.
Many Toyota drivers in the St. Louis metro area, including Hazelwood, St. Charles, Bridgeton, and Florissant, MO use the online service scheduler for maximum convenience.
