Should I change my oil even if I don't drive much?

A good guideline for scheduling an oil change is to do it after every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Just because several months have passed without much driving much, doesn't mean you can put off an oil change. You'll want to change your oil at least twice a year.

Is full synthetic oil better than regular oil?

Synthetic oil molecules have a more consistent shape, contain fewer impurities, and possess superior characteristics compared to traditional oil molecules.Typically, synthetic oil performs better in extreme high and low temperatures. This is because it is usually made with advanced additives that enhance its performance.

Can you drive more miles before changing your oil with synthetic oil?

You can drive 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes with synthetic oil.

"Had to have a turbo replaced on our 2003 F 250 power stroke. After inspection we had to have seals and a lot of other things replaced due to just being old and worn."
