Combustion Engines and Oil Change Maintenance

Combustion engines generate drive power by harnessing the energy from thousands of small internal explosions every minute. Extreme friction and heat are natural combustion engine byproducts. Motor oil allows combustion engines to perform correctly by lubricating the moving components susceptible to friction and overheating. Motor oil requires change maintenance at the recommended interval because it forms into a sludgy composition, collects debris, and provides poor lubrication. Major automakers recommend full-synthetic motor oil for newer models because it offers optimum lubrication due to its thinner viscosity, thermal breakdown resistance, and 10,000-mile change interval. Conventional motor oil was adopted as the automotive industry standard engine lubricant when vehicle ownership became common decades ago. Conventional motor oil provides sufficient lubrication for many vehicles and requires change service every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Semi-synthetic motor oil features a mixed composition of conventional and synthetic oils, allowing drivers to collect the benefits of synthetic lubrication without paying the premium price of full-synthetic. Diesel engines generate greater torque and require a special lubricant with enhanced anti-friction additives. We provide full-synthetic, semi-synthetic, conventional, and diesel oil changes.
