Below, we look to answer all questions about oil changes and highlight why we're the place to come for them.

Importance of Oil Changes

The engine is the heart of your vehicle, and it has many moving parts that need to fit together perfectly for smooth, dependable performance. Engine oil plays a key role in this by lubricating these parts and ensuring that they don't wear on each other and that dust and grime don't build up in certain areas. Older oil or oil that has seen a lot of use is less effective, which is why you need to change it out to ensure you're getting the best performance from your vehicle.

There are many benefits to regular oil changes, and those cover a wide range of areas. Oil changes aid performance and efficiency by improving lubrication of the many moving parts in your engine. Replacing your oil and oil filter also helps protect the engine and can prevent mechanical failures that are much more expensive to fix. Those benefits also help you continue to enjoy the reliability that Toyota models are famous for.

What Are Your Engine Oil Options?

Engine oils have changed a lot throughout the years, and the different options vary in a few areas and in what they provide. Your owner's manual is a simple place to find the recommended oil for your vehicle, but you can also call our team to figure that out. There are different styles, such as high-mileage engine oil, but we highlight the three main oil types below.

• Conventional Oil: Conventional motor oil has seen a lot of improvements, and it remains the most affordable oil of the bunch. This is often the type of oil to use in older engines.
• Synthetic Blend Oil: This oil type blends conventional and synthetic oils to achieve greater protection against oxidation and ensure smooth performance in cold weather.
• Full Synthetic Oil: More drivers are choosing synthetic oil changes around Springfield, VA because of the added benefits. This oil type lasts longer than others so that you don't have to schedule as many oil changes, and it also keeps your engine clean and protects from wear better. Synthetic oil helps vehicles with turbochargers, but it is also more expensive.
