How Often to Change Synthetic Oil

When you know how often to change synthetic oil, you can protect your engine and ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Although your owner’s manual should include a model-specific recommendation, synthetic motor oil changes are generally recommended at least once every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. 

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil: What’s the Difference? 

All motor oil needs to be able to limit the buildup of residue and distribute heat away from your engine’s moving parts—but not all oils are equally up to the task. Compared to conventional oil, synthetic oil is longer-lasting and better-performing. In more precise terms, this means that synthetic oil cleans your engine more effectively, remains less viscous at lower temperatures, and offers superior protection at higher temperatures. 

Conventional oil is a refined product, derived from crude oil. This is also true for synthetic oil, but the latter goes through an additional process of refinement that makes it even more effective. This means that it can offer better protection to higher-mileage engines or perform better under pressure.
