Buick Oil Change 101: Types of Oil
Putting the right oil in your tank during a Buick oil change is essential. While your vehicle will run on any oil, it’s important that you use the right oil to keep your engine running smoothly. The McGuire Buick GMC team explains the four primary types of oil and how to know which is best for your vehicle.
Conventional Oil
Cars have been running on conventional oil for decades. It’s primarily made with crude oil, and is one of the most common types that you’ll find in an auto parts store. You can expect conventional oil to last for up to 5,000 miles.
Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oil is made with chemical compounds to enhance performance compared to crude oil. It’s usually more expensive, but depending on your model, it can potentially last for up to 20,000 miles before needing to change.
