Routine oil changes are essential to the longevity of your vehicle because oil is what lubricates the engine's moving parts, but it eventually breaks down over time. Before bringing in your car for an oil change, however, it is important to know which type of oil it will require. What's the difference between conventional oil and synthetic oil?
Synthetic motor oil is used to simulate the effects of conventional motor oil. It is an artificial blend of chemicals, and many automakers these days are choosing it over conventional oil. Conventional oil is a natural blend of oil and some key additives.
To determine which type of oil your engine needs, simply consult your car's owner's manual.
Now that you know why an oil change is so important to your engine's performance, as well as whether your car will need conventional or synthetic oil, the next step is to bring in your car to our dealership at Max Ford of Butler! for an oil change. Contact our service center to make an appointment.
