Engine Oil Blend vs. Full Synthetic

Apr 22, 2024
Ford Service

Learn more about the differences between a fully synthetic and a synthetic blend.

Changing your Ford model’s oil is one of the most important routine services required. However, you may be wondering if a synthetic oil blend or full synthetic oil is right for your vehicle. Either option can work great, but your choice will likely come down to your lifestyle, budget, and preferences. At Willowbrook Ford Inc., we serve Westmont and beyond by offering expert oil changes and helpful information.

How to Choose the Right Oil Type

To get started, it can be helpful to describe what fully synthetic and blended synthetic oils are. Fully synthetic oil is motor oil that has undergone a chemically engineered process that has fewer impurities and a stronger base than conventional oil. Synthetic blend oil uses a mixture of synthetic and conventional oils, providing less protection and requiring oil changes more often.

When choosing fully synthetic oil, you can drive for longer before needing an oil change. Some drivers choose fully synthetic oil since it provides higher heat resistance and thermal stability, making it ideal for performance driving. On the other hand, synthetic blend oil is less expensive than fully synthetic oil.

What could help you decide between the two is considering your driving habits around Downers Grove. If your driving puts considerable stress on your engine, fully synthetic oil could be the right choice for your Ford model. If you drive short distances or not as often, synthetic blend oil could be right.

You may also find your Ford oil change costs are similar either way, with fully synthetic oil costing more but requiring you to come in less while synthetic blend oil will have you coming in more but spending less each time. Bringing in your Ford model for an oil change at our service center near Darien may help us catch developing issues before they become more costly.
