Do you know the difference between synthetic vs. conventional oil? https://t.co/JoKrHQ5gX5 pic.twitter.com/BFKbAs0USa

While prices may vary by service center and region, on average synthetic motor oil costs almost twice as much as conventional oil. That comes to the tune of about $64 extra every year, if you follow manufacturer-recommended oil change schedules.
It's a pretty penny, but AAA says it will probably save you on repairs over the life of your car.
In a recent study, synthetic oil performed 47 percent better than conventional oil in tests used to evaluate its ability to protect an engine under a variety of conditions. Particularly in high-temperature climates, synthetic oil's ability to maintain viscosity and lubrication makes it an invaluable asset.
If you are leasing a new Ford, and only plan to keep it for three years, then you likely will not notice a difference. But if you own a vehicle and plan to keep it for the long term, the superior protection of synthetic oil can save you from maintenance and repair headaches down the road.
