Explore the key differences between synthetic and conventional oil to determine which option best suits your driving habits and your vehicle.
Conventional oil
Conventional oil is refined from crude oil. It is affordable and works well for many older or low-stress engines with regular change intervals.
Full synthetic oil
Synthetic oil is engineered for uniform molecules and advanced additives. It resists breakdown, flows better when cold and protects better at high temperatures, which is why many modern and turbocharged engines require it.
Which should you choose?
Start with your manufacturer’s specification. If your vehicle allows either, consider synthetic for towing, short trips, extreme climates or longer intervals. Our technicians are happy to help you compare the options.
