What is a synthetic oil change?

Conventional motor oil is a refined crude oil product. Synthetic motor oil is a man-made product produced from a variety of highly engineered ingredients. Full synthetic oil offers the best lubrication, stability, viscosity retention, and sludge prevention. These features of synthetic oil translate to better gas mileage, smoother performance, and better protection against engine wear compared to conventional oil. Plus, vehicles that use synthetic oil usually have longer oil change intervals. That’s more convenient for you and better for the environment.

Is full synthetic oil worth it?

The benefits of synthetic oil outweigh the extra cost. AAA’s 2017 study1 found that one synthetic oil change every 7,500 miles costs just $5 more per month than conventional oil, while outperforming conventional oil by 47%. Since better oil performance contributes to long-term engine health, synthetic oil is a great investment in the longevity of your vehicle.

How often to change synthetic oil

When in doubt, a full synthetic oil change every 7,500 miles (or sooner, if your oil reminder activates) is a great rule of thumb. But check your vehicle’s manual -- manufacturers today recommend oil change intervals ranging from 5,000 miles to a whopping 15,000 miles, depending on the vehicle. Today’s longer oil change intervals assume you’re using a type of oil that meets your vehicle’s specifications -- a synthetic blend or better, in most cases. (Don’t worry - Midas never uses engine oils below your vehicle specs.)

It’s a myth that synthetic oil causes leaks. But the myth persists because it’s based on an outdated fact. Back in the 1970s, synthetic oils did sometimes degrade engine seals made of certain materials. Today, synthetic oils help protect your seals.

Synthetic oil does not cause leaks, but you may notice an existing leak after your first synthetic oil change. That’s because synthetic oil can clear away conventional oil build-up that was plugging an existing leak. So synthetic oil doesn’t cause the leak -- it diagnoses it! It may be time for High Mileage Oil. It’s designed to fill in those small gaps and prolong the life of your engine.

“The crew here bend over backwards to make sure you know what they are checking and if they think something should be replaced. I live on the other side of town and regularly bring my vehicles here for service. Keep up the great work guys!”

“I brought my vehicle in today and they were able to service it without a problem which was a huge stress relief for me. Corey, Alex, Shawn, and Ray are amazing! I seriously can't thank them enough. I will be going to them for servicing on my vehicle from now on and will be recommending them to everyone. Thanks guys!”

“I have been getting oil changes from this location for over 5 years. They are spot on and not even close to being pushy with their recommendations. I liked them so much that I talked our shop into using them for our fleet service. Not only do we get a great price on our fleet but I also get a discount because I still take my personal vehicle there.”

“Have been going here for over 10 years. They have great service and great attitudes. Was looking at buying new car and they looked through 6 cars to make sure they were good to buy. Didn't charge me a dime. When I bought new car and came in to change oil they were honest and instead of just charging me for a service they stated the car didn't need it at that time. These guys are great and well worth taking your car here!!! Would give 6 stars of I could.”

What's the difference between Mobil 1 and Mobil full synthetic?

The Mobil 1 range of motor oils are described as Full Synthetic because they are modified in the laboratory. Usually they are just hydrocracked mineral oils. They are sometimes nearly 100% synthetic, but when there is some mineral oil inclusion as a carrier oil, this causes them to be only Full Synthetic.
