Engine Oil Change Importance & Regular Schedule Intervals
Regular vs Synthetic Blend vs Full Synthetic Oil Changes
There are various factors that determine the type of oil you should opt for during your next oil change, primarily being the recommended type outlined in your owner’s manual by the manufacturer. However, it’s possible to protect your vehicle’s engine better by opting for higher quality oil, such as using synthetic oil in place of regular oil, but never the other way around. Also, your driving environment can have a significant impact on your engine oil, so if temperatures fall quite low in winter and are hot in summer, it can be a good idea to choose synthetic oil as it can handle extreme temperatures much better than regular oil.
Here are a few general guidelines to compare these types of oils to each other: (Check your owner’s manual for specific change interval for your make and model)
| Oil Type: | Change Interval (Months) | Change Interval (kilometres) | Engine Protection Level |
| Regular Oil | 3 – 6 | 3,000 – 5,000 | + |
| Synthetic Blend | 6 – 12 | 5,000 – 7,500 | ++ |
| Full Synthetic | 6 – 12 | 7,500 – 10,000 | +++ |
