What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2014 Kia Forte?

Full synthetic offers the most stable protection against heat and oxidation compared with synthetic blend and conventional.

Synthetic blends improve oxidation resistance over conventional, while full synthetic typically maintains viscosity stability longer.
