Car Oil Types

Like many Nissan owners, you are probably eager to take good care of your car. One component of care for your Nissan that you might not know much about is choosing the right oil. Having the right kind of oil for your vehicle can improve its performance. It can also protect the engine and help make it last longer. If you drive a sporty car or a truck, the right kind of oil can enhance the car's performance and help avoid other car problems such as leaking oil. Many car owners also don't realize that the type of engine oil that you use during the car's life can be changed as needed.

Synthetic

Synthetic oil is one of the most commonly used kinds of engine oil. Synthetic oil is specially adapted to meet a wide range of engine needs. It is one of the most versatile oils that you can buy for a vehicle, and it can be used on Nissan models that are low in mileage along with higher-mileage cars. Synthetic oil is one of the most protective oils on the market. It contains additives, which are substances that can comprise nearly 30% of the oil. Additives can improve the engine's performance and provide other protective benefits.

Synthetic Blend

Synthetic blend oils are hybrid oils that work well in a number of temperatures. Synthetic oils can be used in various temperatures due to their viscosity ratings, which are often rated as "W" for wintertime driving. Synthetic blend oils may also provide your car with vital protection during hot summer temperatures by keeping the car's engine cool to avoid overheating. Synthetic oil provides many benefits, and it is also a cost-effective oil because it has some degree of conventional oil as well.

Conventional Oil

Conventional oil is the oldest of the four types of oil used in modern vehicles. Conventional oil is not as widely used in cars as other types of oil due to the fact that it is made for use in older cars with special engines. Conventional oil is also a common choice of engine oil for people who drive older cars. Conventional oil can also be used in trucks, sedans, SUVs, and crossovers, but it is ideally used in vehicles that don't have too many miles. Conventional oil is not always rated for winter driving, which can make driving in the winter challenging.

High Mileage Oil

High mileage oil protects your car against leaking oil out of the engine. It also gives older cars sufficient lubrication. High mileage oil keeps oil from burning as well.
