Understanding Oil Change Costs: Synthetic vs. Conventional 

How much does it cost for an oil change? This question is common among West Lafayette car owners. Typically, an oil and filter change using conventional oil will cost between $35 and $75, depending on your area. If your car requires synthetic oil, expect to pay more (anywhere from $65 to $125). Why is this? Well: 

  • Synthetic oil is more expensive to produce than conventional oil. It's engineered with higher-quality base oils and a more complex blend of additives, offering superior protection and performance.
  • Synthetic oil usually allows for longer intervals between oil changes, which can offset the higher upfront cost over time.
  • Synthetic oil often enhances engine performance and efficiency. It provides better protection at high temperatures and flows more easily in cold weather.
  • Some synthetic oils are specially formulated for specific engine types, like high-performance or high-mileage engines, which can add to the cost.

Additionally, different models may require specific types of oil or have more complex service needs.
