How Often Should Synthetic Oil Be Changed?

[SanBeau]

Fully synthetic oil should be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, while semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Mineral oil also requires changing every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Types of Engine Oil: Engine oil can be divided into three main categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Among these, mineral oil has relatively lower quality, whereas fully synthetic oil offers superior quality. Advantages of Synthetic Oil: • Smoother cold starts, particularly noticeable in northeastern regions;• More fuel-efficient;• Longer oil change intervals, equivalent to 1.5 times or more compared to conventional lubricants;• Extends engine lifespan and reduces maintenance frequency;• Due to its superior cleaning properties, synthetic oil keeps the engine cylinder block cleaner.
