More Oil Change Information 

All the information included with an oil change can feel overwhelming, that’s why we put together a quick guide to help answer some questions you may have. 

What are the benefits of full synthetic oil? 

Reduces Sludge Build-up 

Using a combination of high-quality additives and anti-oxidation qualities, synthetic oil helps prevent the build-up of unwanted engine sludge. Less engine sludge means a longer lifespan and better performance from your engine. 

Less Engine Wear and Tear 

With a longer lifespan before degradation and oxidation, full synthetic oil keeps your engine lubricated longer to fight against engine wear and tear.  

High-Temperature Stability 

Full synthetic oils boast better viscosity stability, meaning that the oil will resist thinning at high temperatures, leading to better high-temp performance. 

Better Performance in Low Temperatures 

Enjoy smooth engine starts even in the coldest of winters with synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is specially engineered to be more stable and oxidation-resistant for better performance in low temperatures all the way down to -40ºF.
