Is it time for your car’s regular oil change? You may be wondering about the difference between conventional, synthetic, and semi-synthetic oil changes. Let’s take a look at the key factors that differentiate the different oil change options for your car from one another.
Conventional and synthetic oil changes aren’t your only options. There’s also a middle ground- semi-synthetic oil. These oils are a blend of man-made oils and conventional oil and can be better for your engine than conventional oil alone. Semi-synthetic oil offers many of the benefits of synthetic oil at a significantly lower price. On average, semi-synthetic oil is 30% less expensive than synthetic oil.
If you’ve ever taken a look at the price listings for service when you get your oil changed, you know that synthetic oil is significantly more expensive than conventional. Conventional oil is exactly what it sounds like- oil is taken from the Earth and put into your car. Synthetic oil contains fewer impurities than conventional oil. While both types of oil will keep your car running, synthetic oil is better for your engine. Some cars require synthetic oil, while others leave the choice up to the car owner.
Not all semi-synthetic oils are created equal. Some have a higher concentration of conventional oil than others. If you’re choosing to change your oil yourself, it’s important that you know what kind of blend makes the most sense for your car. A qualified mechanic will have no problem knowing what kind of oil will be the best fit for your vehicle.
