Engine oil

Before you schedule your next Mazda oil change, learn about the different types of engine oil, or motor oil, available for your Mazda car. The type of engine oil your car will need will differ due to a couple of factors, such as the recommended engine oil by the automaker, climate, driving habits, and vehicle age.

Routine oil changes are essential to ensure your Mazda car continues to run smoothly.  Here’s what you need to know about the various types of engine oil.

Conventional Motor Oil

Conventional motor oil is the standard motor oil for cars. It is created from crude oil that has been refined until it has the lubricating properties to ensure your vehicle will continue to run well.

This budget-friendly motor oil option is recommended for vehicles with low to average mileage. Conventional motor oil must be replaced more often than other engine oils.

Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Fully synthetic motor oil is the priciest engine oil option. This motor oil is chemically engineered and formulated to keep your engine clean and perform efficiently in low and high temperatures.

Although the price of synthetic motor oil is significant compared to others, it is higher quality and doesn’t have to be changed as often.

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

The combination of conventional and synthetic oil creates synthetic blend motor oil. A synthetic blend motor oil is a good choice for drivers who want the performance of a fully synthetic motor oil for a lower price.

High Mileage Motor Oil

High mileage motor is designed for cars with over 75,000 miles. The formulation of high-mileage motor oil is designed to prevent oil leaks, reduce oil consumption, and lessen smoke and emissions.
