Based in Springfield, Missouri, Christopher King owns and operates Queen City Motors which sells quality used cars. Aside from selling cars, Christopher King also provides automotive services through Queen City Motors Service in Springfield, Missouri. One of the services offered by Queen City Motors Service is the oil change.
There are a number of different automotive engine oils available for a car owner. Conventional motor oil should be used by vehicles that only have light duty. This means that the vehicle is not used for towing nor does it have a high-performance engine. These are the kinds of engine oils that come with new cars. It is not practical for owners of light-duty vehicles to switch to synthetic oils because the engines do not benefit from the increase in performance due to synthetic oils.
Meanwhile, fully synthetic engine oils are used by heavy-duty vehicles and sports cars. Heavy-duty vehicles refer to vehicles used for towing duty. Sports cars and supercars have high performance engines that require fully synthetic oils. These oils are designed to maintain their quality at both low and high temperatures.
SUV and pickup truck owners who do occasional towing are advised to use blended synthetic oils. These are a combination of both conventional and synthetic oils. Available at lower prices than full synthetics these oils provide protection for higher engine temperatures.
On the other hand, high-mileage cars should use high mileage oils. These are intended for cars who have been driven for some time and would most likely still be on the road with six figures in the odometer. These oils have conditioners mixed in that are designed to keep engine seals flexible, therefore avoiding oil leaks from brittle seals.
