Without regular oil changes, carbon and varnish buildup and your engine will start to corrode.

More Information About Motor Oil and Oil Changes

About the oil classification system. All motor oil comes with a classification indicating its viscosity, which is its friction or resistance to flow. In multi-grade oil, the first number indicates how the oil will flow when it is cold. The lower the number, the lighter the oil and the better it will perform at lower temperatures. The second number indicates the thickness of that same oil at high temperatures. For example, 5W-30 oil will flow as 5-weight oil at zero degrees Fahrenheit and as 30-weight oil at 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why many use 5W-30 oil Many vehicles today leave the factory with 5W-30 engine oil. Vehicle manufacturers recommend it because it is a lighter oil that performs well in a range of temperatures and improves gas mileage.

Synthetic oils Not all motor engine oils are petroleum-based. Synthetic oils, or chemically compounded lubricants, are also available. They provide:

• Higher viscosity stability over a wider temperature range.
• Reduce oil thickening.
• Reduced wear and increased load-carrying ability.

Motor Oil Most cars on the road today use multi-grade oil — one that can work efficiently in cold and hot weather. Two numbers, such as 5W-30, rate multi-grade oil. For more information about oil and oil changes, please contact us.
