Synthetic oil has been around since 1929. It is composed of man-made compounds. It was created to be a replacement for conventional oil. There are several reasons that people opt to choose synthetic oil over conventional oil. Synthetic oil is much less likely to oxidize. It is also less likely to acidify and is more chemically stable. Additionally, synthetic oil is more likely to retain its desirable qualities because it has a harder time breaking down.
If you have synthetic oil in your vehicle, then it will likely be able to go longer without having to get an oil change. Most synthetic oils can last anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 miles. However, it is important to note that the type of oil that you have is not the only factor that determines how long the oil lasts. The type of vehicle is another factor.
