So, what's the difference between synthetic and conventional oil? Typically, synthetic oil is the better oil to go with. But it really depends on your driving habits, and what is recommended in your owner's manual. Synthetic oil offers better protection at start-up, and against heat buildup. It also has better cleansing properties and enhanced durability. It will give you the best protection, especially in cold temperatures. Conventional oil is best if you drive a late-model vehicle with low-mileage and use your vehicle occasionally. If you're still not sure, you can discuss your concerns with your oil change specialist the next time you take it in to get it serviced. But generally speaking, most vehicles today require that you use synthetic oil to keep it operating efficiently and to prevent unnecessary wear and tear to your vehicle. If you want your vehicle to operate at its peak capacity-give it the best.
