You may have been told that your vehicle uses synthetic oil, and it's important to understand the difference between synthetic oil vs. traditional oil. Synthetic oil is a manufactured lubricant that protects your engine while it is running. It can be fully synthetic from chemical compounds, or contain a mixture of synthetic oil and conventional motor oil.
Synthetic oil is generally considered more stable than conventional oil, and it has become more common to use synthetic oil or synthetic blends in newly manufactured cars. Synthetic oil does not use petroleum and doesn't break down as quickly as conventional oil. Synthetic oil also has a longer lifespan, making it possible to go for longer periods of time in between oil changes.
