What is the Difference Between Synthetic and Conventional Oil?

Why is full synthetic the recommended oil for the Volkswagen Atlas? Synthetic is the recommended Volkswagen Atlas oil type because the engine in your Atlas is precision-engineered and needs oil with high viscosity to fully optimize its performance. Here are some differences between synthetic and conventional oil:

• Cleaning the engine - Synthetic oil is specially formulated both with enhanced engine cleaning properties and to produce less gunk and residue over time.
• Viscosity (the ability to flow smoothly through the engine) - Since synthetic oil runs cleaner, it runs more smoothly.
• Protecting turbo components - Synthetic oil is formulated to do this.
• Oxidation - Synthetic oil is made to oxidize more slowly than regular oil.
• Cost - Synthetic oil does cost more than synthetic.
