Nissan oil change

When you get the oil changed in your car, you may not give a ton of thought to the new oil that will be put in. You should, however, have a basic understanding of what will be flowing through your engine.

Before your next Nissan oil change, here’s what to know about the different types of oil available:

Conventional Oil

The most common type, conventional oil is best suited for late-model vehicles that don’t have high mileage. The biggest benefit of this kind of oil is that it is very affordable.

Full Synthetic Oil

Certain car engines require high levels of lubrication, which is what full synthetic oil offers. In addition, it provides higher viscosity levels, as well as resistance to oxidation. It also boosts fuel efficiency.

Synthetic Blend Oil

With a synthetic blend, you get a combination of conventional and full synthetic oil. This also offers good resistance to oxidation, and it is especially good for low temperatures. An added bonus is that it is a lot cheaper than full synthetic oil.

High Mileage Oil

If your car has reached the 75,000-mile mark, it could be time to start using high mileage oil. This type offers several advantages, including reducing oil consumption, minimizing the risk of leaks, and decreasing emissions.
