Whether in the city, county, or state government, one phrase is sure to be heard at every level.  From your constituents or those you work with, the ask “Where/how can the money be saved?” It might be phrased as a question, a statement, in contemplation, or perhaps in exasperation.  But the bottom line is that people want to know where the money is coming from to do whatever is proposed.  One way to save tax dollars is to introduce a synthetic oil maintenance routine to municipal vehicle fleets.

If looking for a way to keep costs low, use synthetic oil in your county’s vehicles.

Why Your Municipalities Vehicles Should Use Synthetic Oil

Cost

Note that choosing synthetic oil, vehicles go longer between oil changes.  Unlike an oil change done with conventional oil (3,000 -5,000 miles between changes), a vehicle using synthetic oil can typically go between 7,000 and 10,000 miles. Some cars can last 15,000 miles between oil changes! Costs are lower in the long run because maintenance can be performed less frequently.  Also note that vehicles using synthetic oil get better gas mileage.  A North Carolina Consumer Reports study found that synthetics increases fuel economy by as much as 3%.  So, gas costs will be lower, too!

Cleaner

Synthetic oil is made in a lab and designed to work with a vehicle’s engine.  Special additives are used to enhance the lubrication without leaving sludge or carbon residue behind. This lack of residue means the engine runs cleaner and better, adding more drive time to a vehicle. As a result, the county will not need to replace vehicles or get engine work done as frequently.

Temperature

Synthetics can be used in any climate, but it is especially beneficial in areas with extreme cold or heat. It will take conventional oil longer to heat up and move through your engine during cold weather. However, synthetic oil is engineered to flow quickly regardless of the temperature. Conversely, during hot weather, synthetics will not break down or evaporate, thus reducing added wear and tear to a car’s moving parts.
