Most car manufacturers today are encouraging the use of synthetic oil only in their owners manuals in regard to what type of oil to use. Usually, synthetic oil is more costly, so it makes sense why some car owners want to know the difference between conventional and synthetic oil. Also, is it worth the higher cost?
Conventional oil is what is being referred to when making reference to the refined petroleum products that has many additives that are also natural. Synthetic oil is made in a laboratory and simulates the capacities of conventional oil, but far exceeds conventional oil’s capabilities.
So, which oil should you use for your car? When in doubt follow the instructions in the owner's manual. If you still want to know if using synthetic oil will work for your vehicle, bring it in to our dealership's service center for a professional opinion. Schedule your appointment today!
