Synthetic oil typically lasts longer than conventional oil, with manufacturers recommending oil changes between 5,000 to 7,500 miles or 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first.
Factors that can influence the lifespan of synthetic oil include:
- Driving conditions: Frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, and heavy towing can shorten the oil's lifespan.
- Vehicle type: Some vehicles may require more frequent oil changes based on their engine design.
- Oil quality: Higher-quality synthetic oils may last longer than lower-quality ones.
It's important to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations on oil change intervals for your vehicle.
