Full synthetic oils offer superior high- and low-temperature protection and longer performance life compared with conventional and synthetic blends.

Synthetic blends can be a middle ground for cost vs. protection. When you schedule an oil change, ask which category matches the vehicle’s OEM specification and your driving conditions.

  • Full synthetic: best stability and longer intervals in many cases
  • Synthetic blend: improved protection over conventional at lower cost
