Compare Motor Oil Brands
Give your car what it needs and it'll give you back a whole lot more. That means choosing the best motor oil for your engine type, your car's stage of life, and your driving habits. But how do you choose the best motor oil for your vehicle? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we're proud to carry some of the most well-known oil brands in the nation that have proven themselves time and time again. Learn more about our motor oils below to tips for choosing the best motor oil for your needs!
Best Synthetic Motor Oil
Full synthetic oils are inherently some of the best oils out there, simply because they're the purest. A full synthetic oil is likely the best choice for you if you drive a high performance vehicle (like a sports car) or live in a climate that experiences extreme hold or cold temperatures. We're proud to carry the following full synthetic motor oils at Firestone Complete Auto Care:
Pennzoil PlatinumⓇ Full Synthetic Motor Oil with PurePlus™ Technology
Pennzoil PlatinumⓇ Euro Full Synthetic Motor Oil with PurePlus™ Technology
Shell RotellaⓇ T6 Full Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Motor Oil
Best Semi-Synthetic Oil
Semi-synthetic oil is best for drivers who want the added performance benefits of a full synthetic oil, but at a more affordable price. Because full synthetic oils can cost two to three times more than other oils, many price-savvy drivers opt for a synthetic oil blend, or a semi-synthetic. This type of oil is best suited for vehicles that need to maintain their top notch performance while towing or hauling heavy loads, or maintain their fuel efficiency in stop-and-go traffic. We proudly offer the following synthetic motor oil blends at Firestone Complete Auto Care:
Best High Mileage Oil
High mileage oil is the best oil type for vehicles with more than 75,000 miles, and especially vehicles that are already exhibiting signs of "old age." If your car likes to leave oil spots in the driveway, blow smoke out the tailpipe, or guzzle more oil than it used to, high mileage oil will likely be the best motor oil for your needs. We carry the following high mileage oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care:
Remember, even the best motor oil will eventually become saturated with contaminants and break down from the natural heat and friction within your engine. Whichever oil you choose, staying on top of your regularly scheduled oil change services is the best way to keep your car in its best operating condition!
