Conventional oil is called traditional oil at times. It is oil out of the ground that has had only minor modifications. It is the same oil that has been used since the invention of the internal combustion engine. Synthetic oil is still oil but has had many more modifications. Conventional oil works fine in most cars, and it may be best for cars that are a few years old. Conventional oil breaks down faster and must be changed more often than synthetic oil. The choice is ultimately yours. Our certified technicians can answer any questions you have and help you make the best choice for your individual situation.
Oil obviously lubricates your engine, keeping the metal parts working smoothly and keeping them from rubbing against each other. Oil also helps clean your engine, but those impurities make the oil break down faster. When oil breaks down, it does not lubricate as well, and your engine has to work harder. Over a long period of time, this will wear out your engine faster than it would have if it had clean oil. In extreme cases, oil can turn to sludge and cause engine failure. There are no symptoms for when oil is wearing out. The only symptom is engine failure. This is why it is a good idea to change the oil on a regular schedule.
