- While checking the oil level, look at its condition. If the oil is black I'd suggest to change it. - Always use only appropriate engine oil type (usually you can find it on oil cap or in the owners manual). -Check your parking space for leaks. If you find any, fix it before it results in more serious vehicle problem Synthetic oil vs. conventional mineral oil The advantage of synthetic oil is that it can withstand higher temperature and can work longer without losing its lubricating qualities. It doesn't get thicker at below-zero temperatures providing good engine lubrication at a cold start. However, since it's more "thinner" a high-mileage engine filled with synthetic oil will more likely to develop leaks and you will more likely to hear lifters tapping noise at a start. Therefore, If you have low mileage or turbo engine and driving under heavy conditions such as high temperature, excessive load, long intervals without an oil change, etc., or simply want to provide extra protection for your engine, synthetic oil may be a good solution.
