Types of Oil

When it comes time for oil change service, you’ll have four primary types of motor oil to choose from for your vehicle. The service technicians at Mauer Main Chevrolet can help you understand the benefits of each and choose which one is best for your vehicle.

Conventional Motor Oil

Conventional motor oil is the most common type. This type of oil is generally used in late-model vehicles with minimal mileage such as pleasure-use vehicles. Conventional oil is best for light-duty vehicles rather than daily drivers or workhorse vehicles.

Synthetic Motor Oil

Although synthetic motor oil can cost a little more than conventional motor oil, it’s better for the health of your car, so it’s worth the extra money in the long run. Synthetic oil is a highly refined oil that has a powder additive to help your engine distribute the oil during engine cycling, improving the longevity of your vehicle.

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

As the name implies, a synthetic blend is a mixture of conventional motor oil and synthetic motor oil. This is a great choice for those who want the best of both worlds: the benefits of using synthetic oil plus the cost-effectiveness of conventional motor oil.

High-Mileage Motor Oil

High-mileage motor oil is specially formulated for older vehicles with a lot of miles. It includes additives which help to alleviate breakdowns and maintenance issues and extend the lifespan of your vehicle.
