Spring Maintenance: How Often To Change Hyundai Synthetic Oil

Hyundai Oil Change
 

Proper engine care is the key to your engine’s longevity. Routine oil changes are one of the most important things you can do to keep your engine healthy. Switching from conventional oil to synthetic oil can improve engine performance and extend service life. How often do you change the synthetic oil in your car?

It’s a question our service team receives often. Most synthetic oils last between 7,500 and 15,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and the type of oil used. Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific oil change interval. If it’s time to bring your vehicle in for a synthetic oil change, schedule a Hyundai oil change in Santa Clara at Stevens Creek Hyundai—we’re not far from Santa Clara.

 

 

Synthetic Vs. Conventional Oil: What’s The Difference? 

Although synthetic oil is more expensive than conventional oil, it is more refined, resulting in better performance and longer service life, which is why Hyundai recommends synthetic oil for your Hyundai vehicle. So, which is right for your Hyundai vehicle? The best way to decide whether to use synthetic oil or conventional oil is to check your owner’s manual — it should clearly indicate which oil the automaker recommends. It’s always best to follow the manufacturer’s advice. 

Why Choose Synthetic Oil?

While some customers avoid synthetic oil due to its higher cost, it offers several advantages that aren’t available with conventional oil. Here’s a closer look at the benefits synthetic oil can offer: 

  • Longer Oil Change Interval – Some vehicles that require synthetic oil can last as long as 15,000 miles between oil changes. Again, how often to change synthetic oil depends on your owner’s manual. 
  • Better at Higher Temperatures – Synthetic oil doesn’t become as thin when subjected to the high heat of an engine, which allows it to last longer and perform better than conventional oil.
  • Better for Performance – Because synthetic oil can stay cleaner for longer, it’s often recommended for vehicles built for racing or rugged performance. It can be especially important for racing or off-roading near Sunnyvale.

Can You Mix Synthetic And Conventional Oil?

In a pinch, you can use a mixture of synthetic and conventional oil, though not recommended. You’re diluting the performance advantages of synthetic oil. If your car requires synthetic oil, it’s best to use it.
