Synthetic oil can be better for your car’s engine than conventional oil, but it can also cost more. Synthetic oil is made with higher quality base oils than conventional oil, which makes it more chemically stable, less likely to break down, and harder to oxidize and acidify. Synthetic oil can also be a better lubricant in extreme temperatures, and it can help protect your engine from strain if you use your car for towing or hauling heavy materials. However, synthetic oil changes can cost more than conventional oil changes, so you might need to factor that into your decision. 

Here are some other benefits of synthetic oil:

• Engine performance: Synthetic oil can help your engine run at optimal performance.
• Longevity: Synthetic oil takes longer to break down than conventional oil, so your engine can go longer between oil changes.
• Sludge buildup: Synthetic oil can help prevent sludge buildup, which is a gunky residue that can form when oil breaks down and block oil passages. 

You can check your car’s owner’s manual to see if your vehicle recommends synthetic or conventional oil. Most cars can use either type of oil, unless your engine specifically needs conventional oil. 

How often should I change my oil if I use synthetic?

7,500 – 15,000 miles

Unlike regular car oil, synthetic oil is more refined which can lower friction, reduce engine sludge, and increase engine performance. It’s recommended that you change synthetic oil every 7,500 – 15,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and the brand of synthetic oil used.
