Is it really important what kind of motor oil you put into your vehicle? Actually, it does. If you use a conventional motor oil in a vehicle that requires synthetic motor oil, you can actually risk damaging your engine. You could also void your warranty. So it's better to pay the couple of extra bucks-you will save a lot more in the long run.
Most vehicles require synthetic oils these days. The exception is if you have a late-model, low-mileage vehicle that you drive at relaxed speeds. Or if you haul heavy loads or are in the high RPMs most of the time, you will need to use a synthetic motor oil blend. Otherwise, synthetic motor oil is the best choice. If you're still not sure-check your owner's manual or consult with your oil change specialist. But it's always best to go with a higher-grade oil over a lower-grade one.
