First, you can switch between conventional and synthetic products without harming your vehicle. In some cases, body shops may use conventional oil by default even though you want to use synthetic. It's also possible that conventional oil is the only one available when you want or need to have your oil changed.
Even if you use conventional oil, you can still go more than 3,000 miles between oil changes. Typically, conventional oil can last for up to 5,000 miles while synthetic oil can last for up to 10,000 miles or more without needing to be flushed out.
