Car Oil Types

For many car owners, the complexities of vehicle care add up quickly. After all, you need to do a lot to keep your vehicle in top condition. Car care involves many components. One is keeping up with the car's recommended oil changes and using the correct type of oil. In addition to simply being fresh and clean, the oil in your vehicle should also match the type of engine you have, the conditions you drive in, and the age of your car. Our dealership will gladly recommend the types of oil available for your vehicle so you can determine which one is best for your car.

Synthetic Oil

Synthetic oil, as the name implies, is an oil with synthetic compounds. Synthetic oil is designed with molecules that are uniform in size for consistency and predictability. Synthetic oil is made to withstand the most extreme driving conditions, including vehicles driving in hot and cold temperatures and drivers who put a lot of miles or wear and tear on their cars. Synthetic oil also withstands a fair amount of engine heat, making it a good choice for optimizing a vehicle's performance. With synthetic oil, you can also extend the lifespan of your car and the vehicle's engine. Synthetic oil is one of the highest-quality kinds of oil available, but it is also one of the most expensive.

Synthetic Blend Oil

Synthetic blend oil is also another type of oil that many car owners use. Synthetic blend oil contains a mixture of synthetic and conventional oil. The combined oil translates to lower expenses on vehicle maintenance, as conventional oil is one of the most cost-effective types of oil available. However, synthetic blend oil provides you with the same advantages that synthetic oil offers to enhance the car's engine and performance.

Conventional Oil

Conventional oil is usually the least expensive oil that you can get. However, it is limited to certain vehicles, while synthetic oil has a universal application. Conventional oil is ideal for older model cars that have a simple engine layout. Conventional oil is not as durable when it comes to fluctuations in temperature, so it is a good choice for car owners who drive in moderate temperatures and conditions.

High Mileage Oil

Some cars will need to have a different engine oil when they get higher in mileage. When a car hits 75,000 miles or more, it will require a high mileage oil that prevents the oil from burning and ensures that the engine stays lubricated.
