How Do I Switch from Conventional to Synthetic Oil?

To borrow a famous slogan, just do it.

There is still some confusion about changing to a different type of oil in vehicles, particularly older models that have accumulated many miles. A small group of ill-informed individuals in garages and on blogs still cling to old beliefs that synthetic motor oils cause roller followers to “slip or skid,” or that switching to synthetic motor oil causes issues in older engines, particularly oil leaks.

Facts have since replaced these outdated ideas about synthetics causing engine problems. The use of synthetic lubricants is growing rapidly because properly formulated synthetics offer benefits well beyond what conventional and synthetic blend products can provide. Many new passenger car and light truck vehicles come factory filled with synthetic lubricants – not just high-performance sports cars.

There are a couple of ways to install AMSOIL synthetic motor oils for the first time.

• Jump right in and simply change the oil – many people do this with excellent results

• Flush the engine first – this process more immediately removes sludge and debris accumulated over time

The main difference between flushing your engine and a normal oil change to synthetics is the rate at which the built-up debris is removed from older engines. If you change to AMSOIL synthetic motor oil without flushing, accumulated debris is cleaned from the engine over subsequent oil changes. When you use AMSOIL Engine and Transmission Flush, the cleanup is more immediate and helps ensure the engine is clean and free of any accumulated contaminants.

We recommend using AMSOIL Engine and Transmission Flush if your engine has a questionable history or is known to have deposits. It’s also great insurance if you simply want to give your vehicle a fresh start. It’s exactly what I did after buying a Honda CR-V a couple years ago with 157,000 miles on the odometer. After flushing the engine, installing AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil and an Ea® Oil Filter, the engine – now at 190,000 miles – has run flawlessly ever since.

Whichever procedure you use, be confident you’re putting the best product in your engine when switching to AMSOIL synthetic motor oil.

Use of synthetic oil has more benefits as compared to conventional lubricants. Synthetic oil could last long and could withstand the extreme temperature generated by the engine during the internal combustion. Besides, synthetic oil provides better lubrication as compared to conventional fluids. So, in my point of view, a person should choose the conventional fluid. For more assistance, visit

Chemicals used in synthetic oil could withstand more heat as compared to conventional oil. Besides, the molecular force of attraction among the molecule of synthetic oil is comparatively high and provides better lubrication to different components of the transmission. However, in my point of view, a person should take assistance from an experienced technician while selecting the lubricant and only suitable oil should be selected. To know more,

Thank you for pointing out that it is possible for us to jump straight to change motor oils. I plan on changing to synthetic oil. I will flush out my motor oil first.

My cousin has been thinking about taking better care of his car because he wants to make sure that it can run a lot better. He would really like to get some help from a professional to make sure that he can get the right lubricant. It was interesting to learn about how sludge in the engine should be flushed before adding the lubricant to have better results.

I want to try a new kind of oil for my car. It makes sense that I would want to transition slowly. I'll be sure to get a professional to ensure that I do things properly. That way, I don't have to worry about the oil not working well for my car.

I didn't know that synthetic oil was better for the lifespan for the car. I need to recycle some oil that I used in the past. I'll have to consider getting a bunch of synthetic oil for storage.
