Should I switch to synthetic oil in my Ford Focus?

I have been using conventional oil in my Ford Focus for many years now, but I have heard that synthetic oil can offer better protection and performance. Is it worth making the switch? What are the benefits and drawbacks?

Yes, you should definitely switch to synthetic oil. It offers better protection for your engine and can improve performance. It may cost a little more, but it's worth it in the long run.

I personally stick with conventional oil as it has worked well for me. Synthetic oil can be more expensive and I haven't noticed any major differences in performance.

It really depends on your driving habits and the conditions you drive in. If you frequently drive in extreme temperatures or tow heavy loads, synthetic oil may be a better option for you.
