The engine oil you use in your vehicle influences the lifespan and operation of the vehicle. There are many types of oils available, depending on your car's make, model, and mileage. The climate of where you live and drive also influences the best oil type to ensure the car has optimal performance each season. Our team of certified technicians is here to help you determine which oil will work the best. We also recommend reading through your owner's manual to determine what the manufacturer suggests for your specific model.
Full Synthetic Motor Oil
If you want to boost the performance of your engine and obtain better lubrication on the parts, you can opt for full synthetic motor oil. This type of oil makes it easier to achieve higher viscosity levels and also resist oxidation. The oil even protects against thermal breakdowns that can occur. The oil is resistant to oil sludge and can boost the motor's efficiency.
This type of oil costs more than conventional oil but can be worth purchasing because of the benefits provided. It's ideal to use in climates that have extremely high temperatures in the summer and low temperatures in the winter. It provides an extra level of protection, which also makes it useful for older cars.
Synthetic Blend Motor Oil
Synthetic oil blends deliver plenty of benefits and have a mixture of additives, conventional oils, and synthetic oils. This type of oil costs less and is great to use if you've always used conventional oil in the engine.
Conventional Motor Oil
Conventional oil is commonly used in most types of cars and is ideal if you don't drive too far each day or have long-distance commutes. This type of oil is great for climates that have moderate seasonal temperatures that aren't overly extreme.
High Mileage Motor Oil
Cars that have a minimum of 75,000 miles can benefit from high mileage motor oil. It works well for reducing how much oil the car consumes, as well as the emissions released as the car is operating. With this type of oil, you can also obtain seal conditioners that work well for minimizing leaks.
