Synthetic vs Conventional Oil near Covington, GA

Synthetic vs Conventional Oil near Covington, GA

Count On Our Team!

Whether you’re thinking about trying synthetic or conventional oil or simply aren’t too familiar with their differences, we at Gerald Jones Mazda prepared this overview! Afterwards, just reach out to us to make an appointment with our Service Department. We’re open six days a week!

Synthetic

Synthetic oil is a man-made option that flowers through the engine quickly to help lubricate all the pieces underneath the hood. While it can be more expensive than conventional, it can also last up to between 10,000 to 15,000 miles. This means you won’t need to visit us as often for an oil change! Even further, it doesn’t break down as easily and helps to protect your engine in extreme hot or cold weather. Last but not least, you can always consider a synthetic oil blend if you don’t want to fully take the plunge just yet. You’ll still reap the benefits, such as improved performance as well as your fuel efficiency, which will ultimately keep you cruising much longer.

Conventional 

Conventional oil is still the standard for many manufacturers. It is recommended to have it swapped out every 5,000 to 7,000 miles for best performance of your vehicle. It helps dust, pollen, and debris, however, when it becomes pitch back, it’s time to make a stop into our service bay. Even though it needs to be changed more often than the previous choice, it works to move the parts below your hood and helps prevent any possible overheating. This option is also ideal for older vehicles and can extend the life of your vehicle overall if taken care of routinely. If you think it may be time for an oil change, check your Owner’s Manual or ask our mechanics via our Ask a Tech for.

Service Center

For either of the two choices, make a stop into our Service Center. As we’re taking care of your oil, we can also do a multi-point inspection to see if we may need to address anything else regarding your vehicle. If you’re looking for a day or time to visit, we welcome you to use our Schedule Appointment tool. You will also find specials by selecting the corresponding tab at the top of the page that can help you save some cash. Do you need any new components? If so, our Parts Department can definitely assist you. Plus, feel free to peruse our Mazda Tire Center online if you need a fresh set.

I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their.

I went with my sister to sell my mother's car. We were treated respectfully and given a fair price. It was not resale value, but it was fair for a trade in value.

Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible. He made my experience with Mazda EXCELLENT! Thank you Kevin. God bless you!

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be.

Great folks, Great Place!
