Synthetic vs Conventional Oil in Bloomington, IN
Before you pay the Service Department of Royal South Mazda a visit for your regular oil change, take the time to read this informative guide to learn more about the two types of oil you can choose from. After you've done so, don't hesitate to contact us during our open hours if you still have any questions.
Conventional Oil
We’ll kick this overview off with the option that most people are familiar with. Conventional oil is characterized by the fact that it is the product of refined crude oil. If you’ve got an older or high-mileage vehicle, then this would be the options for you. It’s also a bit easier on the pockets than its alternative, so you’ll be saving some cash in the long run. You can also expect that this fluid will be very easy to find, as most places carry this liquid in stock.
Synthetic Oil
The other option available to you is synthetic oil. This liquid is the result of combining artificial chemicals with crude oil to produce a lubricant that can be used in vehicles. This option lasts longer and provides improved protection, so you’ll be able to cruise through the streets of Bloomington for quite a while before needing to visit our dealership for servicing. This oil will also function well in extreme temperatures, so you’ll be able to visit Wapehani Mountain Bike Park in any season with little worry. If you’re in possession of a performance vehicle, then this liquid will put in the extra work to protect your critical turbocharger parts.
Which Is Better?
Thankfully, you’ll be seeing plenty of benefits regardless of which option you chose to fill your vehicle with before making your way down West 17th Street. Are you in possession of a high-mileage vehicle or one of an older model? If so, you might want to consider getting conventional oil. It’s also a good choice for those who want to save some cash. Synthetic oil is the preferred choice for people willing to shell out a bit extra, as well as those who own a performance vehicle with a turbocharged engine. When you’re ready, don’t hesitate to visit Royal South Mazda!

Each time was an enjoyable experience.
“ I didn't buy my car here but sent it for regular maintenance a few times. Each time was an enjoyable experience. They were always friendly and never tried to sell me stuff I didn't need. I was sad when I got a new car and had to find another dealership for services! ”

Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years.
“ Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years. I did not have an appointment and they got me in for service. Everyone from the Service writer to the service tech was professional and nice to work with. Price for my oil change and inspection was very competitive and worth the 5-star service I recieved. They also sent me a Video of the service so I could see what was completed...Just top tier in my book. I will continue to go there with my MX-5 until it's dying day. ”
Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot.
“ Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot. I brought car in for an inspection, I LOVED the explanation video that was sent to me of the inspection. Not only did it make me feel a little more a part of the process, it gave me an excellent run down of everything that needed done and an accessible means of sharing with those who understand cars better than I do. Thank you very much! ”

“ Service department is great! Easy to make an appointment and they have always been ready for me at my appointment time. They have been respectful of my time and very thorough in their services. For even a basic service they do a nicely comprehensive check on the car and send you a video of, all the things they checked it’s very cool. I highly recommend them. ”
