Question
Hello!

When I get a oil change for the car.Is it worth getting the castrol synthetic oil.

>>In terms of improving miles per gallon?? or it's waste of money to get synthetic oil.

>>Is there any cons of synthetic oil??

>>Lastly,what are the most reliable brand for tires ?

Thanks for answering my question

Answer
Please tell me the year make and model with engine size and I will tell you the best tire for your car. Also unless the car calls for synthetic oil it is not necessary as long as you change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Synthetic oil has better lubrication properties than regular oil, which will extend the life of the motor but I doubt you will see any change in gas mileage. If you have been using conventional oil all along i recommend you stick with it. Good luck
