You may be wondering about the hype surrounding synthetic oil. It costs approximately three times more than conventional oil, so is it really worth the money? The oil you choose for your car is a personal decision, but it’s one that you should consider heavily.
If you plan to keep your car for a long time, using synthetic oil is probably worth the investment. Below are several reasons why many argue that synthetic is better for your vehicle:

- Synthetic oil contains no contaminants while the many contaminants in conventional oil cause eventual sludge build up.
- Synthetic oil can flow at a much lower temperature than conventional oil.
- “Synthetic lubricant contains more highly refined base oils than those used in conventional mineral oils, offering you additional protection and performance.”
