When it comes to oil changes, it seems like everyone has a different answer to common questions. One such question is whether or not you can switch brands of oil with a new oil change.
The short answer is yes, it’s perfectly fine to switch to a new oil brand even if you’ve been using a different brand for years. That being said, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the oil suggested for your vehicle. Any brand that your manual recommends for your car is fine.
It’s even alright for car owners to switch between synthetic and conventional oil as long as they adhere to oils the car is designed to handle. Synthetic is formulated to last longer, making it ideal for those who may not be as diligent with oil changes. Conventional oil is a less expensive option if you consistently change your oil within the recommended time frame.
