Conventional vs Synthetic Oil Change

Conventional vs Synthetic Oil: Which To Choose?

Conventional and synthetic oil each have their own perks. Conventional oil is often available at a lower price and gets the job done for lubricating engine parts and regulating engine temperature. Synthetic oil, on the other hand, is often made of higher-quality materials and therefore performs better through a range of vehicle needs.

For example, you might need to tow a trailer filled with gear. This activity makes the engine work harder than it does during normal commutes. Thanks to the chemically-engineered construction of synthetic oil, it can handle the high heat that's generated and keep things moving smoothly.

Synthetic oil also typically lasts longer than conventional oil, meaning you'll get many more miles out of the oil. Conventional oil change intervals are often around 5,000 to 7,500 miles, while synthetic oil can last between 7,500 and 10,000 miles.

If you're deciding between conventional and synthetic oil, it helps to consult your car's owner's manual. Use it to see what the manufacturer recommends regarding which oil type to use, plus check out the maintenance schedule to see how often you should swap it out. We're also here to offer advice, based on your driving needs!
