Types of Engine Oil

1. Synthetic Oil

• Description: Made from chemically engineered compounds to provide superior performance.

• Features:

• Excellent lubrication across a wide temperature range.

• High resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown.

• Reduced engine deposits and sludge.

• Best For: High-performance vehicles, extreme temperatures, and modern engines requiring peak efficiency.

2. Semi-Synthetic Oil

• Description: A blend of synthetic oil and conventional oil.

• Features:

• Offers better performance than conventional oil at a lower cost than fully synthetic oil.

• Improved protection and lubrication compared to conventional oil.

• Best For: Drivers looking for a balance between performance and affordability, suitable for light trucks and older vehicles.

3. Conventional Oil

• Description: Mineral oil derived directly from crude oil, the most basic type of engine oil.

• Features:

• Affordable and widely available.

• Adequate for standard engines with low to moderate mileage.

• Best For: Vehicles with simpler engines or older models without high-performance demands.

4. High-Mileage Oil

• Description: Designed for vehicles with over 75,000 miles.

• Features:

• Contains additives to reduce oil leaks and engine wear.

• Helps recondition engine seals and reduce sludge buildup.

• Best For: Older cars or vehicles with significant mileage that may have engine wear and tear.

Each oil type serves a specific purpose and is tailored to the vehicle’s engine requirements and driving conditions. Choosing the right oil ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.
