There is no cut and dry answer when it comes to oil change timelines because it depends on the make and model of your car. Most experts can agree though that the 3,000 mile rule that had been standard for years is no longer necessary for newer vehicles. Some new vehicles can go as long as 10,000 miles before needing to head in for a service. The best way to see how often you should be getting an oil change is to read your car’s manual. Not only should it list the length of time between oil changes but it should also tell you if you should be buying synthetic or conventional oil. Can you drive further with synthetic oil? Find out below.<\/p>\n

Can you drive further with synthetic oil?<\/h2>\n

Well, the ruling is still out on this one. While synthetic oil boasts a longer time in between oil changes, conventional oil guidelines are rapidly getting longer with new car models. It’s hard to definitively say at this point that you can go further with synthetic oil than you can with conventional. However, is it pretty clear that synthetic oil provides your engine with a certain level of protection and performance that can’t be matched by conventional oil. For that reason alone you should consider switching to synthetic if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n
