Conventional Oil Change
Conventional oil is a very simple oil made for older cars that have an equally simple engine and not a lot of miles. In the same note, it is also used for the first oil change on new cars to introduce your car to future oil changes.
How Often to Change Conventional Oil
Conventional oil changes are to be done once every 3,000 miles. Synthetic Oil, on the other hand, should be changed once every 6,000 miles.
When to Use Conventional Oil
Conventional oil is the most budget-friendly option when it comes to oil changes. Although conventional oil may not be the best option for every vehicle or driver, it can be used on just about any car with more frequent oil changes.
Signs You Need an Oil Change
- The most common sign: Oil light comes on. For this symptom specifically, most people let it stay on for far too long. The longer the light stays on, the more dirty or even lower the oil may get which can lead to severe damage to your vehicle
- A rumbling noise coming from your engine
- Lower fuel efficiency
- A leak underneath your engine
