Should I use synthetic or conventional motor oil for my Vauxhall Astra?

I just bought a Vauxhall Astra and I'm not sure what type of oil to use. I've heard that synthetic oil is better for the engine, but it's also more expensive. Is it worth the extra cost or should I stick with conventional oil?

It ultimately depends on your personal preference and driving habits.

Synthetic oil is generally recommended for newer cars, including the Vauxhall Astra.

Although conventional oil may be cheaper, synthetic oil offers better protection and can improve fuel efficiency.

If you plan on keeping your car for a long time, synthetic oil can help prolong the life of your engine.
