Different Types of Oil

Did you know that there are four different varieties of motor oil? You can choose from synthetic oil, synthetic blends, high mileage oil, and conventional oil.

 

Synthetic Motor Oil

 

Synthetic motor oil contains fewer impurities than conventional and synthetic blend motor oils and can better resist the formation of sludge and deposits. It also performs better at extremely high temperatures and extremely low temperatures. Synthetic oils are usually formulated with higher-performing additives.

 

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

This blend of synthetic and conventional oils has good low-temperature properties and resists oxidation better than conventional oil.

 

High-Mileage Motor Oil

 

High-mileage motor oil is specifically designed for older vehicles or newer vehicles with over 75,000 miles. Its unique additives and formulation help reduce oil burn-off and prevent oil leaks.

 

Conventional Motor Oil

Conventional motor oil is usually recommended for drivers with simple engine designs and non-severe driving styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are many different types of oil. The best way to check to see what oil your vehicle uses is to check the owner's manual. This will tell you what type of oil should be used in your vehicle. You should never deviate from the recommendation from the manufacturer, as today’s engines are often designed to use only one type of oil, and the use of a different oil than recommended can severely damage your engine.

The type of filter that your vehicle needs depends on the type of oil that it needs. Conventional oil needs to be changed about every 3,000 miles and only requires a conventional filter. Synthetic oil, on the other hand, lasts much longer. It can last anywhere between 6,000 and 12,000 miles.

When your check engine light comes on, there could be a number of issues. It could be something basic, like a loose gas cap, or it could be something serious. The best way to ensure that you are safe behind the wheel is to bring your vehicle into our shop for a multi-point inspection. We will read the code being sent to the vehicles control module, find the issue, and make you aware of it so you can choose whether or not you want to take the next steps to getting your vehicle back to peak conditions.

If your tire pressure is low, it can cause uneven wear on your tires. That means that one tire may wear faster than another forcing you to have to replace all of your tires sooner. This can be quite costly. Low tire pressure also puts you at risk of tire failure. When you drive down the highway you may also feel your vehicle pulling to one side of the road because of this. Also, low tire pressure forces your vehicle to use more power to generate the same amount of speed, costing you more gas and money!

It is important to have your brakes checked often. Most folks have their brakes checked when they have their tires rotated. We recommend a tire rotation every 5,000 miles. One of the mechanics at our service center can check the thickness of your brake pads to ensure that they are running at peak conditions. Your brake pads are essential for maintaining stopping power, so be sure to have them checked every chance that you get.

Your brake pads should be replaced when they are worn down. If you don't replace your brake pads in a timely fashion it can severely reduce your stopping power. This puts you and folks around you in danger. Not replacing your brake pads also means that your brakes will wear on your brake discs. This will wear them out and cause more costly repairs down the line.

A tire rotation causes the wear on your tires to be redistributed to other parts, which will extend the life of your tires. If you don't rotate your tires then the wear on them will be centralized to one spot, forcing it to be replaced sooner. With centralized wear, your tires may fail, so be sure to rotate your tires!

Your coolant is what helps keep your vehicle from overheating. It, just like your vehicle's oil, can break down and cause sludge. This wears down your vehicle and could cause it to overheat. A coolant flush allows you to get rid of all of that broken down coolant and replace it with clean coolant. It also allows you to clean out a bit of that broken down coolant, preventing it from causing further damage to your engine.
