The type of motor oil is going to depend on the type of engine, budget, driving conditions, and more. You can expect synthetic oil to be more expensive than conventional oil but it does have a few advantages. Whether it is fully-synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, they are going to be more refined than conventional oil. This allows it to provide better performance and last longer. They will also last longer in high or low temperatures compared to conventional oil. Conventional is relatively cheaper per volume but will require more frequent oil change service.
The process of an oil change is similar for diesel or petrol engines, however, the motor oil used for diesel engines is different. Typically, the motor oil for diesel engines has more viscosity and a higher volume of additives. Diesel engines tend to get hotter than petrol engines, so the motor oil needs to withstand the higher temperature. If you are unsure about what type of motor oil to use, our certified technicians can guide you on the best choice for your requirements.
The service interval for an oil change is going to depend on several factors such as the type of motor oil used, environmental conditions, and more. It is recommended you stick to the service interval provided by the manufacturer. For most types of vehicles under normal conditions, a fully synthetic oil should last between 5000 to 7500 miles before it needs to be changed. We can inspect the quality of the motor oil to determine if it needs to be changed.
