The Complete Guide to Engine Oil Types

Synthetic vs. Conventional

Conventional oil is refined from crude and works fine for older engines with simple designs. Synthetic oil is engineered for consistency, offering better performance in extreme temperatures and longer intervals between changes.

Semi-synthetic blends split the difference, offering some of the performance benefits at a lower price point. Your owner’s manual is the best starting point, but our technicians can recommend the ideal oil for your driving habits.
