Often, our customers wonder if an oil change full synthetic is necessary to keep their motor properly lubricated. Specifically, they wonder which oil is better for their engine and the vehicle that they drive: synthetic or conventional. Since the answer relies on several factors, we have some tips to keep your engine running smoothly.

Oil Change 101

Foremost, you can’t exclusively rely on your check engine light to let you know when you need an oil change. Obviously, if it’s on, your car most likely needs one. Conversely, if it’s not on, that doesn’t mean it’s NOT time to change your motor oil. Sound a little confusing? Don’t worry, our team at Xpress Lube of Kernersville can help you figure it out! Of course, your dashboard reminders are important. You should periodically check your vehicle’s fluids to prevent problems at an inconvenient time.

First, the type of driving you do will determine how often you should change your motor oil. For instance, if you expose your car to constant stop-and-go driving or idling, it may need more frequent attention. Or, if you drive regularly in extreme temperatures, you may need a change before the light glows.

Before getting an oil change, check your owner’s manual to determine what you need. While oil change full synthetic is appropriate for nearly every vehicle on the road, conventional oil is not. Your owner’s manual details that and as well as the recommended oil weight. However, don’t fret if the information seems confusing. Our team is happy to look over the owner’s manual with you. Then, we will help you make the best choice.

Similarly, it often comes down to value when choosing which oil is best. Keep in mind, by value we don’t necessarily mean cost. Oil change full synthetic may initially cost a few more dollars per month. However, synthetic oil tends to last longer, survive more extreme circumstances and protects the engine better. Consequently, it is often the most reliable choice. Moreover, this is exactly why we exclusively use Havoline motor oil for all oil changes at Xpress Lube of Kernersville.
