Oil Comparison Chart (Conventional, High Mileage, Synthetic Blend Oil, Full Synthetic)
Four main types of oil are currently available on the market: conventional, high mileage, synthetic blend, and full synthetic. Each has their own benefits and downfalls, of course. Some vehicles function more efficiently when the correct type of oil is used in the engine.
- Conventional – Conventional is considered good for basic engine protection. You will receive adequate performance and effective sludge protection.
- High Mileage – High mileage oil is designed for engines with more than 75,000 miles. The main focal point for high mileage oil is that it helps to replenish worn or leaky seals, restore lost compression, and reduce overall oil consumption.
- Synthetic Blend – Synthetic blend oil offers better protection, performance, cleaning, and fuel efficiency when compared to high mileage oil. With the added benefit of protecting the engine during extreme temperatures, synthetic blend oil is a clear choice for many vehicle owners.
- Full Synthetic – Lastly, full synthetic oil features all of the advantages of synthetic blend oils, but is better all around.
Automotive Oil Changes
Oil changes are one of the most commonly-overlooked aspects of vehicle maintenance. If you want a well-functioning, long-lasting car, you need to commit to regular oil changes! Bring your car in for an oil change if you notice any of the following signs:
- Your engine growls more loudly than ever. Abnormally loud or strange noises from your engine could indicate that you don’t have enough oil in your car.
- Your check engine light is on, and won’t go away. Yes — it sounds simple. But, many people either overlook or ignore this. Pay attention to your check engine light!
- Your oil is full of gunk. If you spot various particles or chunks in your oil, you need to change it.
