Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil Explained

Semi-synthetic motor oil features a blended composition of conventional and full-synthetic oils. Blending synthetic base stock and conventional oils yields a motor oil with viscosity, resistance to thermal breakdown, recommended change interval, and price between the two. Semi-synthetic motor oil delivers the best of both worlds, providing enhanced engine lubrication and protection beyond conventional while avoiding the premium price of full-synthetic. The unique composition and performance explain why some Volkswagen owners with higher-mile engines lubricated by conventional oil switch to semi-synthetic.

Switching from Conventional to Semi-Synthetic

Semi-synthetic motor oil provides better engine lubrication than conventional. Switching to semi-synthetic is an investment toward thinner viscosity, superior component lubrication, and extended engine life. Although you might switch from conventional to semi-synthetic at any time for improved protection, the standard adopted by automakers is 75,000 to 100,000 miles.
