When you go for that tune-up, your dealer mechanic will probably recommend that you buy synthetic motor oil. It’s significantly more expensive than regular oil, so you might think he’s trying to run up your bill. But he’s actually trying to save you money. Synthetic oil comes from a laboratory, not the ground, so it’s free of the impurities that make the natural stuff break down under tough driving conditions. It lasts longer, it contains additives that keep your engine running at peak performance, and it’s simply the best lubricant out there. That’s why manufacturers build their cars around it. Today’s engines are precision-engineered, with little tolerance for the sludge and mineral build-up that natural oil brings. So listen to your mechanic. Spend a little extra now and you won’t have to see him again for a long time.
