Everyone knows that you need to change your oil as part of your car’s regular, routine maintenance, and most people know that their manual will tell them what viscosity to use. What you might not know, however, is whether you should use synthetic or conventional oil, or which one is right for you and your car’s needs.
The first thing to know when making this decision is what the difference is between the two kinds. Synthetic oils, as you might imagine, are a careful blend of laboratory-created lubricants and chemicals designed to meet or exceed the needs of most modern vehicles. Conventional oils, on the other hand, are natural lubricants refined from crude oil. This is usually sufficient for routine daily driving, but many newer vehicles are beginning to require synthetic.
