A conventional oil change service uses "conventional" oil derived from petroleum. Today, conventional oil change services are still recommended for most vehicles, especially brand new cars with less than 5,000 miles. This initial mileage is known as a "break-in" period for vehicles straight off the factory line. Attempting to introduce synthetic oil too early may decrease vehicle performance.

Synthetic blend motor oils use a mixture of synthetic and conventional base oils for added resistance to oxidation (compared to conventional oil) and to provide excellent low-temperature properties and are recommended for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs that regularly carry heavy loads, tow trailers and/or operate frequently at high RPMs.

Synthetic oil contains non- conventional, high performance fluids that create a unique chemical formula which increases resistance to breakdown. Advantages: Flows easier in colder weather Increases resistance to break down at high temperatures Consumes less energy due to engine friction and saves fuel Lasts as much as three times longer than conventional oil
