Many people ask about the benefits of synthetic oil. Synthetic oil reduces the amount of energy required to run your vehicle. Contaminants in conventional oil can lead to a certain amount of oil thickening. When oil thickens, it requires more energy for distribution to the moving parts of your vehicle, increasing the workload on your engine.

Synthetic oil has less contaminants and moves more easily through your vehicle’s engine, requiring less energy, and causing less wear on the moving parts of your vehicle. It also helps facilitate cold starts in winter months.

For maximum fuel economy and performance try Mobil 1, the leader in synthetic oils, offered at Grease Monkey. At Grease Monkey, every Full Service Oil Change includes new oil and filter, check and/or fill of most major fluids, tire pressure check and set, interior vacuum and exterior window wash.
