Synthetic vs Conventional Oil in Augusta, GA

Synthetic vs Conventional Oil in Augusta, GA

 

There are many ways that you can keep your car, truck, or SUV in stellar condition. One of the most reliable methods is by properly maintaining it. We at Gerald Jones Honda are here to help, so read the following information about the differences between synthetic and conventional oil. That way, you can make informed decisions regarding your vehicle!

|Conventional

Traditional motor oil is tried and true, having been the go-to fluid since cars were invented. However, it has undergone many upgrades since then, causing it to be a better cleanser and lubricant for your automobile. In order to keep the inner workings of your vehicle functioning properly, oil flows throughout the powertrain in all combustion engines. That way, the moving parts won’t rub against each other and cause friction. If this task is neglected, your vehicle may experience excess heat buildup, which can lead to irreparable damage to your engine! To avoid such an outcome, it is imperative that you get your oil changed about once every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Check your Owner’s Manual for more details. 

|Synthetic

While conventional oil does its job well enough, synthetic varieties take things to the next level in terms of quality. This alternative fluid is a highly refined iteration of traditional oil, and it can last significantly longer than its predecessor. Certain models with this liquid can go beyond 10,000 miles without needing a new batch! You can even expect higher fuel efficiency in properly maintained automobiles. It is important to note that conventional oil is almost always compatible with vehicles new and old. Synthetic types only work in specific rides, so be sure to check your Owner’s Manual and the team at our Service Department for more information.

Great experience. Was running late so rep worked around and got me in within short period. Diagnosis was found quickly, part was ordered, and I was able to get out in timely fashion. Part was ordered, was available and is on its way from Atlanta. Rich Wallace.

Wonderful service for repairs! Quick, easy to set appointment, fast delivery with appointment, friendly staff right in the door, honest. I like that they only care about safety with the vehicles and not trying to roll anyone over for expensive repairs. They offered a lady in the waiting room next to me a car for the weekend since her vehicle needed extensive work. Great job all that work there.

William Walker did an awesome job showing me different CRV’s and answering all of my questions. He rode with me several times to test drive and to demonstrate features of the car. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and patient. Although we didn’t close a deal this time, I will definitely ask for him next time! It was a very good experience.

Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team.

With this being my first time getting an oil change I was met with welcomed and experience knowledge with Mr Elam. He instructed me on what to do this time and also next time about where to park for service. He made my visit there very pleasant and informational. I got out in a timely manner and was not late for work. Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team.

The staff was wonderful and very understanding of my situation. They asked what I needed or preferred and found the vehicle I desired with the payments under what I thought they would be. They did not push me or try to oversale like other dealerships I have been to. Next time I am in the market for another car, Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop.

They were not pushy!

We went to the lot at what we thought was " after hours" because we did not want to be "bothered with salespeople" as we looked initially. We still encountered salespeople but to our surprise when we said we would like to just look on our own and later when we got serious at buying, they were not pushy! This was very important to us. They were all very helpful, knowledgeable and when they found that they did not have the exact car I wanted on the lot, they went in search of one for me. The deal was awesome. I highly recommend Gerald Jones Honda.

They helped me with my flat tire after hours!

Bought a Honda Civic Sports Touring from Kendall. Really awesome guy that cut us a great deal and even stayed a bit after closing to show us every feature of our newly bought car. Every staff member there was respectable and personable, unlike another unnamed car dealership a few miles down Washington Rd. Will definitely purchase another car here again.

In and out fast with good service.

My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985. I moved away not long after that, purchased several cars over the last 33 years, returned “home” last year and just bought my 5th Honda at Gerald Jones Honda! I can honestly say this was one of the best car buying experiences I have had over the years. Cam Griffin brought several cars to me at work to allow me to try different trim levels on my own. He made me laugh throughout the process and made it an awesome purchasing experience. I’m glad to have renewed my relationship with the great people at Gerald Jones Honda and look forward to many years of Honda care with them.

Our car buying experience with Gerald Jones Honda and particularly Allen Baer was great today. We’ve purchased many cars with Allen and would strongly recommend him to anyone! He’s very patient and thorough - as an example - he took notice of the temp setting in my old car and made sure to set it to the same temp in the new car before gettin g in it to drive off the lot. Allen took time to connect on a personal level - asking about family members and work, making it feel like we were doing business with a friend. The sales manager Monty was also instrumental in making this experience a good one. We hope to continue to do business with Gerald Jones
