What Type of Oil Does My Car Need?

Writer's picture: Tash KhanTash Khan

There are so many options to choose from when it comes to changing your oil. Let us simplify it for you! There are 4 general types of oil:


  1. Conventional - ideal for light-duty, late-model cars with low to average mileage and a simple engine design

  2. High-Mileage - specifically designed for cars with more than 75,000 miles.

  3. Synthetic Blend - best of both worlds. It has many of the characteristics of full synthetic oil, but at a much lower price.

  4. Full-Synthetic - ideal for vehicles that demand peak level performance and high levels of lubrication.

Now consider the following:

  • Driving Conditions - harsh conditions require the engine to do more work.

  • Manufacturer's Specifications - determine which motor oil is recommended to protect your vehicle.

  • Age of Car - older, light-duty vehicles typically recommend conventional oil.

  • Driving Distance - recommend high-mileage for long distances.

  • Climate - colder climate necessitates the need for a lower viscosity grade engine oil to ensure proper and adequate flow of oil to protect key critical engine components especially during cold startup.

  • Driving Habits

  • Engine Type
