2. Better protection at higher temperatures
Canada is a land of extremes, we have very cold winters
and sometimes very hot summers. Regular mineral oil
breaks down more rapidly than synthetic oil in higher
temperatures, during stop and go traffic or during any other
time where the engine is under higher stress. Synthetic oil
is just more stable.
Adding your own personal touch to your car is easy with our wide
range of interior and exterior accessories. Whether you are looking
to add more versatility, style or convenience, customizing your
Subaru to fit any lifestyle is easy, enjoyable and stress-free. Visit
your local Dealer or www.subaru.ca to see what is available.
3. Longevity
Synthetic oil not only protects engines in very cold as well
as very hot temperatures, it also lasts longer. When you
have your oil changed at the recommended intervals, you’ll
notice that synthetic oil is in much better shape than
mineral oil would be after the same number of kilometers.
4. Protects against harmful deposits
Due to the fact that synthetic oil does not break down as
easily as mineral oil, harmful deposits are deterred from
forming and are better isolated if they do form. Harmful
deposits form in a few different ways, the worst is in
frequent short trips (especially in colder weather) when the
engine doesn’t get warm enough to get rid of all the built
up humidity. People living in small towns are more likely at
risk since everything is about 15 minutes away.
5. Helps protect against overheated engines
Due to the fact that synthetic oil lubricates that much
better, reduces friction and therefore reduces generated
heat, your engine is less likely to overheat. It is still
very important, however, to make sure your vehicle’s
cooling system is in perfect working order; since all these
systems – when working properly – will offer you years of
worry-free driving.
