Choosing the right type of motor oil for your vehicle can keep it healthy and extend its life. Here are some of the main types of oil you can use in your vehicle.
Conventional Oil
Conventional oil is the basic tried-and-true stuff. It’s offered in a range of quality and viscosity and is likely the quickest to break down. If you have a fairly basic, low-mileage driving habit, conventional oil may be right for your vehicle, especially if you have a simple engine. Always defer to your owner’s manual and manufacturer’s recommendation when deciding on an oil. You’ll also find online resources to help you choose the perfect oil for your vehicle.
Synthetic Oils
Synthetic oils come in two subcategories: basic synthetic oil and synthetic blend oil. Synthetic oils take longer to break down than conventional oil and are more expensive. They have fewer impurities and perform better at extreme temperatures than conventional oil as well. Consider synthetic blends more affordable options that act as a midway point between conventional and synthetic oil. If you want the cleanest, highest-performing oil, go with full synthetic.
High-Mileage Oil
If you have an older vehicle or a vehicle with a lot of miles on it, you might want to choose high-mileage oil. This type is specifically designed to perform well in older engines.
