Many people don't know the difference synthetic and conventional oil, or which one is best for their vehicle. Motor oil is works to protect your vehicle from harmful contaminants while assisting in providing friction-free movement of the parts inside the motor. Typically your owner's manual will inform you of which type of oil your vehicle takes. This is beneficial, but you may still wonder what the difference is between the two.
Conventional oil, or mineral-based oil, is basically crude oil that has been refined. This provides the basic necessity of keeping your motor running and requires a change about every 5,000 miles. Synthetic oil is an artificially made oil consisting of raw chemical compounds. This oil is more long-lasting. It greatly reduces the wear on your engine during the winter months and allows you to go longer in between oil changes. Experts recommend that you change synthetic oil every 7,500 miles.
