Whether you drive a high-powered truck, a family-friendly SUV, or a sporty sedan, it’s important to schedule a routine oil change service to ensure your vehicle is in peak operating condition. Learn why synthetic car oil or conventional oil is best for your ride. 

Conventional motor oil is made from refined crude oil and serves the purpose of lubricating your engine to prevent damage caused by friction. Synthetic oil, on the other hand, is typically made in a lab and often has specific additives to enhance the performance of your vehicle. In general, conventional motor oil is used in gas-powered vehicles, especially older models, while synthetic oil is commonly found in newer models and performance vehicles. 

Key Facts About Conventional Car Oil

Affordability is the biggest benefit of conventional engine oil. This motor oil is thicker and flows more slowly, so it’s ideal for older or larger engines that need more lubrication to prevent damage. This motor oil will typically last for 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
