Portuguese term or phrase: ... que aumenta 12 vezes a troca?
Se trata de uma entrevista e não entendi bem a parte que diz "... que aumenta 12 vezes a troca?" e não sei bem qual seria a melhor maneira de colocar isso em inglês?

Obrigada!


Aqui vai o contexto e essa é a parte que vem antes:


1. O que eu posso dizer sobre o óleo Transynd é que é um fluido que aumenta em muito o tempo de drenagem e de escoamento. A quilometragem de troca é muito maior nos veículos que utilizam Transynd em relação aos fluidos tradicionais.


2 ... que aumenta 12 vezes a troca?

Explanation:
Se bem entendi, o texto fala da frequência com que se deve trocar o óleo do veículo. O óleo de melhor qualidade faria com que essa troca fosse menos frequente.
