Synthetic Oil vs Regular Oil

Synthetic oil is different from the regular conventional oil that some engines use. Synthetic oil is developed differently and offers several additional benefits to engines, which is why it is used in high-performance cars and aircraft engines. Synthetic oil is tougher than conventional oil and can work longer in engines without breaking down in construction. Compared to conventional oil, synthetic oil offers better cooling properties as well. When it comes to oxidation within an engine, conventional oil is more prone to allowing the process to happen in an engine.

Volkswagen Synthetic Oil Change Interval

For our services to be as effective as possible, you should routinely have the synthetic oil in your vehicle changed. Manufacturers typically recommend that drivers replace their synthetic oil between every 7,500 and 10,000 miles of travel. Different engine designs use oil differently, so we recommend that you refer to the synthetic oil change schedule that is in the owner's manual for your vehicle. It is not uncommon for some models to not need oil changes for up to 10,000 miles with synthetic oil.
