There are generally four types of oil to choose from: conventional, synthetic, high mileage, and blended oil. Each has its own unique set of properties, advantages, and drawbacks, so it's essential to understand their differences to make an informed decision.

Longer Engine Life: Consistent oil changes will extend the life of your engine, providing your car with more value. With better gas mileage, proper engine lubrication, and the prevention of sludge and dirt particles, your engine is sure to last for a long time.

When you get a full-service change, an auto technician will change your car's motor oil with the type that it needs, which could be conventional, synthetic, synthetic blend, or high-mileage oil. You'll also have your used oil and oil filter replaced and recycled.

5,000 to 7,500 miles It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Moreover, if your car's engine requires full-synthetic motor oil, it might go as far as 15,000 miles between services!

Possibly the biggest advantage and the reason synthetic oil is so popular, is that it has a longer lifespan than conventional oil. The recommended change interval for synthetic oil is around every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, with some brands touting a much longer interval (15,000 to 25,000).

The most obvious alert that there's an issue with your oil will come from the car itself. The oil change light in your vehicle will illuminate when there's not enough oil in the system, so check the dipstick to see what's happening. In worse cases, the check engine light will illuminate.
