Navigating engine oil changes can be confusing—many drivers wonder if low mileage justifies delaying maintenance, like a friend who questioned changing oil after just 5,000 km in a year. This highlights a global gap: while Europe achieves 15,000-km intervals, outdated standards in many regions force shorter cycles, often based on arbitrary mileage rather than scientific metrics like engine hours.
Understanding Oil Types and Their Roles
Engine oils fall into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil, derived from crude, suits basic engines but degrades faster, requiring changes every 5,000 km or 6 months. Semi-synthetic oil offers a middle ground with additives for better stability, ideal for 7,500 km or 9 months. Full synthetic oil, engineered from pure chemicals, excels in extreme conditions—protecting turbocharged engines with superior heat resistance and reducing wear by up to 51% in high-RPM scenarios. TERZO’s full synthetic range, including premium passenger car oils, extends intervals scientifically, not by guesswork.
Why Oil Change Interval Science Matters
Traditional oil change interval rules often ignore variables like driving habits or climate, leading to inefficiency. For instance, mineral oil lasts 50-70 engine hours, while full synthetic oil endures 100-120 hours—yet tracking hours is impractical. TERZO’s T-M OFA Technology solves this by forming a titanium-molybdenum bond on metal surfaces, reducing friction and enabling intervals up to 150,000 km. This innovation, tested in -45°C to 150°C extremes, ensures lubricant performance remains consistent, minimizing engine stress. Learn TERZO’s T-M OFA Tech.
Maximizing Benefits with TERZO Lubricants
Choosing the right oil isn’t just about mileage—it’s about engine protection and cost efficiency. TERZO’s full synthetic oils, with high-temperature stability and low-temperature flow, cut fuel consumption by 3-5% and extend engine life by 30%. For turbo engines or harsh climates, this lubricant performance prevents common failures like sludge buildup. Extended oil change intervals also reduce waste and costs, aligning with TERZO’s eco-initiatives, such as 37% lower carbon emissions in production.
