Oil Change FAQs

Clean, well-circulating oil helps your engine last longer, run more efficiently and can boost your gas mileage.

With older vehicles, the accepted standard has always been to change the oil every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
 
With advancements in automotive technology, many newer vehicles can go 5,000 miles or more before their first oil change.

There are three main types of motor oils:

  • Conventional
  • Synthetic blend
  • Synthetic

Conventional motor oils are standard, petroleum-based oil and are great for normal use but limited in the protection they offer.

Synthetic blend motor oil combines conventional and synthetic motor oils. They are sometimes referred to as “high-mileage” oils.

Synthetic motor oil is manufactured to provide more additives and fewer impurities that can improve your engine’s performance.
 
Synthetic motor oil is generally more expensive than conventional motor oil and are oftentimes required in today’s advanced engines.

It is a measure of viscosity.

What’s viscosity?

Viscosity measures how much motor oil can resist flow. In other words, if you tip a motor oil bottle over, how fast it spills out indicates its viscosity. The slower it flows, the more viscous the motor oil.

To indicate viscosity, the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) developed a standard scale:

0W is thinnest (“W” stands for winter and is the viscosity rating when the motor oil is cold)
5W
10W
15W
20W

For example, 10W-30 means the viscosity is at 10W when the engine is cold and 30 when the engine is hot.

It’s important to know which grade of motor oil is recommended for your vehicle. Your vehicle’s recommended oil type should be listed in your owner’s manual or on the oil cap. If you can’t find it, don’t worry, a Driven Auto Repair associate can look up which oil is recommended for your vehicle.

We strongly recommend to change your oil with every oil change. Over time, if your oil filter is not replaced, it can collect dirt from the engine oil and get clogged, making it less effective. We inlcude a new oil filter with our oil change service so you don’t have to worry.
