Auto manufacturers recommend routine oil changes based on driving condition and mileage intervals. Drivers have heard that synthetic oil is better for their cars but they don't know the differences. Let our skilled auto service team guide you through the differences between conventional and synthetic motor oil.
Traditional oil comes from the ground and it has gone through a refinement process. Drivers typically will choose a traditional oil change due to its cost. While in the engine, traditional oil can form a sludge that isn't good for the engine over time.
Synthetic oil is also refined in a similar process to traditional oil, but synthetic oil is also purified and distilled. The chemist also breaks down the synthetic oil to its smallest components which allows it to protect your engine better. Most service technicians recommend synthetic oil, especially if your car is over 75,000 miles or regularly travels through dirty road conditions as well as extreme temperatures.
