Whats the Difference Between Synthetic Oil and Conventional Oil?
It gets a little confusion trying to understand the difference between regular engine oil versus synthetic engine oil or synthetic blend oil. Here is some basic info on the different types of oil.
Conventional Oil or Regular Oil has been the standard for cars for decades. Regular oil is the least expensive oil that is simply refined crude oil. Regular oil should be changed more often as it breaks down over time and miles traveled. Typically needs to be changed between 3,500 and 7,500 miles.
Synthetic Oil lasts up to 3 times longer than regular oil. Typically needs to be changed between 10,000 to 20,000 miles. Synthetic oil is good for high performance vehicles.
Synthetic Oil Blend is a blend of regular oil and synthetic oils. It’s less expensive then synthetic oil and lasts longer than regular oil and provides better engine protection from different driving conditions such as frequent short trips, stop and go traffic, and idling.
Regardless of the type oil, getting an oil change is essential. Don’t neglect getting your oil changed and follow your vehicle manufacturer recommendations on the type of oil you should use.
