We have a couple base model cars non turbo.
My wife's tucson has a 150k engine warranty but I need to have receipts for oil changes, and I like to get it tied to carfax for simplicity.
I take it in to valvoline for their conventional 5w30 oil change. About $30 out the door every time. Every 3750 miles.
Seems like the instant oil change places are marketing the syn blend product as conventional, but if you read the product information sheets it is actually a blend.
I take my escape sometimes to walmart, and get the quaker state oil. $29 dollar oil change even with 6 quarts. Even that is marketed as conventional but it is a blend.
Been looking at a few cars to replace my escape, its getting up there in miles. At least a year off, after the used car bubble bursts.
I noticed that most cars are 0w20 full synthetic. Even non turbo offerings.
Any manufacturers still allowing for a syn blend?
I was looking at a newer Mazda 5. The non turbo specifies 0w20 full syn, but the turbo car specifies 5w30 syn blend. Go figure.
