Car Oil Types

What Types of Engine Oil Are There?

Not all car oil is made the same, and different types have different benefits. There are a few factors to keep in mind when deciding which oil is the one for you. Examples include the year of your car, the amount you drive, and your current mileage. If you are not sure what you need, do not worry. Our technicians are happy to offer advice so that you can get the most possible out of your vehicle.

Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Full synthetic motor oil is going to cost more than conventional. That said, it will also likely boost your performance. Some engines even run more efficiently when using full synthetic motor oil. Choose this option if you are interested in less oil sludge and higher viscosity levels. People who live in climates with extreme temperature changes will want to use synthetic oil.

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

Synthetic blends are exactly what they sound like. Conventional and synthetic oil is mixed, as well as special additives. In some cases, it may be best to switch from a conventional to a synthetic blend. It is more affordable while still offering many benefits.

Conventional Motor Oil

Conventional oil is the most commonly used type. It is also the least expensive. This option is perfectly acceptable in some situations. If you live in a place with a mild climate, conventional motor oil may be the way to go.

High Mileage Motor Oil

High-mileage vehicles can reap the benefits of specialized oil. This oil has conditioners that can help reduce leaks. It can also reduce emissions in some cases. If you have more than 75,000 miles, consider asking our technicians about our high mileage option.
