Keep Your Engine Running Efficiently and Effectively

As you drive, the engine generates heat. A quick walk around your car, while it's idling, is all it takes to understand better how much heat is produced during vehicle operation.

Conservation of Energy

The law of conservation of energy is energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy changes form and flow from place to place. As fuel ;is combusted, most of the engine energy moves your vehicle, and a smaller part of that energy generates heat inside the engine. To sustain this process and prevent your engine from sustaining damage, heat has to be removed from the engine block. If not the engine will overheat and eventually fail. A small amount of the heat is lost through the exhaust, but it’s mainly the cooling system that removes the heat.

Coolant

During engine operation, the thermostat opens at a specific temperature. This allows the coolant to circulate through the engine, and then to the radiator. There the real heat exchange takes place. Once the hot coolant reaches the internal core of the radiator, a dramatic cooling process starts to prepare it for another trip back. As heated coolant enters the radiator, a high-capacity fan in front of or behind (depending on your vehicle's engine location) the radiator forces air through the cooling fins of the radiator. These tiny fins in the radiator create an enormous amount of surface area. This allows the heated coolant to dissipate heat into the atmosphere in combination with the airflow of the engine fan.

Benefits of Synthetic Oil in ;Leamington, ON

Burns Cleaner

Even after the refining process, conventional oils still contain contaminants that can corrode your engine and reduce performance. Because they are made in a lab, synthetic oils do not contain these impurities, lasting longer and lubricating better.

More Efficient

Man-made oil molecules are more uniform, lighter, and smaller than those found in natural petroleum. As a result, synthetic oil ;requires less energy to circulate, improving your engine's performance.

Built Tougher

Synthetic oil was first used exclusively for planes because it is more heat resistant. As time went on, experience showed that synthetic oil is also more resistant to the cold. Whether you are pushing your engine to the max with heavy hauls and long trips, or driving in climates of extreme heat or cold, synthetic oil will continue to protect your engine after ;conventional oil breaks down.

Fewer Oil Changes

Synthetic oils have built-in additives that last longer than conventional oil. When your additives run out, you need to change your oil. With conventional oil, you can go 4,800-8,000 ;kilometers before an oil change. Synthetic oil can last as long as 40,200 kilometers in the right conditions. Less disposed oil is better for the environment, your schedule, and your pocketbook.

Maintain Viscosity

Since synthetic oil is more resistant to heat and pressure than natural petroleum, less of it gets burned in harsh conditions. When oil burns, it escapes through your tailpipe and into the air. By maintaining its viscosity, synthetic oil reduces emissions.
