Car Oil Types

What Engine Motor Oils Are Available?

Your vehicle can take all types of engine oils to ensure it operates well. Synthetic and conventional oil is common, but the type of oil you select depends on multiple factors. Some of those factors are the climate of where you reside, the miles on the car, how you drive, and your engine's age influence what type of oil mechanics will recommend. Our technicians can offer their assistance, and it's also necessary to read the owner's manual that came with your vehicle.

Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Full synthetic motor oil is the best option if you want something that boosts the performance of your car is works well in lubricating all of the parts. This makes it easier to have higher viscosity levels, better protection, and reduce the risk of oxidation. This type of oil also wards off oil sludge. Don't be surprised if you notice your engine operates better with this type of oil.

Although this oil comes at a higher price, it can be worth the cost. The higher level of protection reduces the risk of wear and tear on the engine, especially if you live in a climate that has extreme temperatures throughout the year. This is also the best type of oil if your vehicle is a lot older.

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

If you want more resistance to oxidation, you can opt for synthetic blend motor oil. This is a blend of synthetic and conventional oil, along with a few additives. Synthetic is easy to switch to if you've previously been using conventional oil. It's also available at the lowest price compared to synthetic motor oil.

Conventional Motor Oil

If you own a light-duty vehicle, convention oil is an ideal option, especially if you don't drive too much. This oil is ideal for traditional engines and is great to use if you have moderate temperature where you live.

High Mileage Motor Oil

High mileage oil is another option that is less common but is great to use if your car has at least 75,000 miles on the odometer. The oil works well for reducing oil consumption and the number of emissions produced by your engine. This is also ideal for minimizing leaks because the oils have seal conditioners in the formulas.
