Typically, it’s advisable to change your vehicle’s oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary based on the vehicle’s age, model, and driving conditions. Synthetic oil can often last longer, up to 7,500 or more miles between changes. Check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Conventional oil, or regular oil, is derived from crude oil, while synthetic oil is chemically engineered to provide enhanced engine protection and performance. Synthetic oil tends to resist temperature changes better, provides cleaner engine operations, and can extend the time between oil changes.
