It's always a good idea to know how things work, especially if it's something you use every day. Your car is a great example, particularly when it comes to maintenance. While you know that regular oil changes are important, you may not realize that there is a variety of different kinds of oil.
Before your next Chrysler oil change. this guide will help you better understand the options available and which is best for your vehicle.
Conventional Oil
If your daily driving can be described as "light duty" and you don't have high mileage, conventional oil is often the best choice. It's also the most commonly used in everyday vehicles.Full Synthetic Oil
Some vehicles need higher levels of lubrication for their engines, and full synthetic provides that. It offers a higher viscosity level that helps prevent sludge and resists thermal breakdown.Synthetic Blend Oil
Synthetic blend oil is a combination of conventional and synthetic oil. Ideal for extreme temperatures, a synthetic blend is also beneficial if you regularly use your vehicle for towing.High Mileage Oil
Once your car reaches roughly 75,000 miles, you should consider switching to high mileage oil. It is designed to cut down on both oil consumption and emissions. It can also reduce the likelihood of leaks and seepage.If you're not sure which type of oil your car should be using, please consult your owner's manual or reach out to our car service center.
