Conventional oil is a popular type of motor oil derived from crude oil. It is refined to provide lubrication to the moving parts inside of your engine. The biggest advantage of conventional oil is that it is cheaper than other options. However, it is more sensitive to temperature changes.
According to experts, you need to change the oil every 3,000 miles. However, in reality, the schedule depends on many factors, including the age of the car and the type of engine. However, even if you have an older car that uses conventional oil and your driving habits are less typical (driving off-road, frequent towing, or extensive idling), you may not need to change it every 3,000 miles, but is still recommended.
Due to high temperatures in the car’s engine, motor oil breaks down over time. Because of this, the old oil is not able to provide proper lubrication. As a result, without lubrication, moving metal parts in the engine start rubbing each other by causing premature wear. Moreover, there are particles in the oil that begin to settle after a while and can cause corrosion. In order to prevent it, you need to make sure that the oil is changed on a regular basis.
