Synthetic oil works better in extreme temperatures, have superior lubrication which creates less sludge, and needs to be changed less often. Conventional oil is your regular motor oil and typically costs about half of what synthetic does and needs to be changed more frequently. If you drive a performance vehicle, tow, or haul often you might want to consider using synthetic. Most modern cars are recommending synthetic oil and if you are unsure you can call or visit an Advance Auto Parts location near you and a team member will be happy to help.

The short is answer yes but it is not encouraged. By changing the oil and not the oil filter will allow unfiltered oil to be ran back through your engine. This unfiltered oil can be full of contaminants such as dirt and other particles. This might lead to a decrease in your vehicle's engine life. Also the gasket seal on the oil filter may be worn down and won't create the proper seal. So therefore it is highly encouraged to change the oil filter when changing the oil.
