I just bought a Kia Picanto and I'm unsure about whether I should use synthetic or conventional oil for my regular oil changes. What are the benefits and drawbacks of each and which would you recommend?
ReplySynthetic oil is typically more expensive but it provides better performance and protection for your engine, especially in extreme temperatures. Conventional oil is cheaper but it may not perform as well in extreme conditions.
If you drive your Kia Picanto in extreme conditions, such as high heat or extreme cold, synthetic oil is definitely the way to go. It also lasts longer, so you won't have to change your oil as frequently.
