Synthetic Oil VS. Regular Oil

Synthetic oil is an oil product that contains additional chemical ingredients that are not present in crude oils. These additional ingredients are synthesized or created artificially and added to petroleum as a means of meeting specific needs for lubrication.

Fully synthetic motor oils contain non-conventional, high-performance fluids and a system of additives that helps prevent wear, keeps engines clean, flows easily, maintains viscosity performance, prevents rust and reduces friction.

Using synthetic oil has many advantages associated with it. The addition of artificial ingredients also helps to ease the burden on diminishing crude oil reserves, making it possible to use natural oils much more efficiently. Using a synthetic product often minimizes the oil sludge issues in your truck especially in older vehicles. Synthetic oils also have a higher tolerance to heat and aging.

A major benefit of using synthetic oil is a more efficient performance when your trucks engine is started in cold weather. Petroleum-based motor oil thickens in cold temperatures, requiring the starter and battery to work much harder to start a cold engine. Synthetic oil is not as affected by low temperatures and begins to lubricate all the working parts much more quickly and efficiently than crude oil products would, thus lowering your chance of gumming and unnecessary wear on your trucks individual engine components.

Synthetic oil was originally developed as a way to deal with the shortage of crude oil products and is used more frequently today due to the better performance. During periods when the price of crude oil rises significantly, synthetic oils may also be a less expensive lubricant option to go with.

Advantages of Using Synthetic Oil:

• Better low and high temperature viscosity performance
• Improved fuel economy in most engines
• Decreased evaporative loss
• Better lubrication on cold starts
• Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown and oil sludge problems
• Oil changes are not needed as often because synthetic is more durable

Disadvantages of Using Synthetic Oil:

• The cost is usually 2 to 4 times more than petroleum-based oils
• The lower friction may make them unsuitable for break-in period
• Potential decomposition problems in certain chemical environments
• Potential stress cracking of plastic components like polypxymethylene (POM) in the presence of  polyalpholefins (POA’s)
• Synthetics do not hold lead in suspension as well as mineral oil
• Synthetic oils are not recommended in automotive rotary engines

Please Remember! Never dump your used motor oil in the trash, on the ground or down a sewer or storm drain!!!

California Diesel Vehicle Smog Check Information

There seems to be a lot of questions about California’s NEW Smog Checks for Diesel Vehicles. Here is what we know…

Back in 2007, Assembly Bill 1488, was approved. Assembly Bill 1488 requires the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to include in the Smog Check Program, by January 2010, Diesel-fueled (Diesel) vehicles meeting certain model year (1998 and newer) and vehicle weight range criteria (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 14,000 pounds.)

This legislation requires the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to work with the California Air Resources Board (ARB) to create the diesel vehicle test procedures, and requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to work with the ARB to identify vehicles for inspection.

At a minimum, Assembly Bill 1488 requires that 1998 and newer vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of less than 14,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating be included in the Smog Check Program.

The bill indicates that the test will, at a minimum, consist of visual checks of the Emission Control Systems (ECS), and an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) test. In addition, Assembly Bill 1870, requires a visible smoke test.  All of these tests are currently performed on gasoline vehicles. However, there are minor differences for Diesel Vehicles.

A portion of the diesel visual test is checking for non-California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved emission related aftermarket parts. In general, Modified and Add-on parts require CARB Exemption through an Executive Order (EO).

“Modified part” means any aftermarket part intended to replace an original equipment emission-related part which is not functionally identical to the original equipment part in all respects which in any way affect emissions, excluding consolidated parts. Examples include: aftermarket performance engine control unit reprogrammers, fuel injection components, and turbochargers.

“Add-on part” means aftermarket parts which is not modified part or a replacement part. For the purposes of a Smog Check inspection, add-on parts that could adversely affect the effectiveness of the vehicle’s emission control must have a CARB Exemption. Examples include: Inline programmers, nitrous oxide kits, and propane kits.

It is estimated that approximately 540,000 diesel vehicles will be registered in California and subject to this program in calendar year 2010. Department of Motor Vehicles will begin sending notifications in January 2010 to registered owners of diesel vehicles with Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) ending in even numbers, and the Vehicle Identification Numbers ending in odd numbers will be sent the following year beginning in January 2011.

Please Note: Orange County Diesel does not provide SMOG services, we are simply providing INFORMATION ONLY. This information is provided by Bureau of Automotive Repair as of 12/24/2009.
