It has improved viscosity and enhanced lubrication that outperforms conventional with an extended change interval between 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

Why Routine Oil Changes are Necessary
The engine requires an oil lubricant as the moving parts would otherwise succumb to friction and heat within minutes. Fresh motor oil is the best lubricant. It has peak viscosity offering maximum protection, yet it will lose integrity depending upon the type of oil it is and driving habits. Because all motor oils will eventually lose integrity and accumulate debris, all motor oils require change service to restore peak engine lubrication while also cleaning out the dirty, sludgy, broken down oil.
