Car Oil Types

Understanding the Different Motor Oils Available at Delray Honda

When your vehicle comes into Delray Honda for an oil change, our technicians will ask you what type of motor oil you're interested in us using. You may not even know what kind of oil has been used for your routine oil changes in the past, but we can help you choose the best option for your budget and your vehicle's needs. We'll talk to you a bit about your driving habits, how much mileage you're putting on your car, and the climate you're driving in.

Full Synthetic Motor Oil

We recommend a fully synthetic motor oil for our clients willing to invest a few extra dollars in a superior product. This type of oil increases viscosity while preventing damage from sludge, oxidation, or thermal breakdown. When you're driving outside of the Florida area frequently, varying weather patterns won't affect your vehicle when you're using a fully synthetic product.

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

A synthetic blend consists of both synthetic oil and conventional oil. The manufacturer also includes additives that will provide a consistent degree of protection. It's also a relatively affordable product.

Conventional Motor Oil

Conventional oil is one of the more affordable options you have if you're on a budget but still want to ensure that you're keeping up with routine maintenance. If you're not planning on traveling long distances in the near future, conventional oil is perfectly acceptable.

High Mileage Motor Oil

A vehicle that has more than 75,000 miles on it requires a bit more attention when it comes to routine maintenance and service. Oil changes should be performed regularly with the help of a high mileage motor oil. This oil will use seal conditioners inside of it to minimize leaks. You can also increase your fuel efficiency ratings with a high mileage oil. It also reduces carbon emissions.

Reach out to Delray Honda if you would like to schedule an appointment for service at our Delray Beach dealership. We would be happy to help you figure out what type of motor oil is the best option for your vehicle while still adhering to the budget you have set for routine maintenance.
