Check out our list of FAQs, and if we haven’t addressed your concerns, don’t hesitate to contact your dealership.
The most common type of motor oil is conventional, or regular oil, which is derived from mineral oil and is often the cheapest option. Synthetic oils start with the same oil base but are further refined to reduce molecule size and ensure “slipperiness”. Synthetic oils are more expensive than regular oil, but they also need to be changed less frequently, mitigating the cost difference.
Check your owners manual to see what the manufacturer recommends for your vehicle. Most manufacturers recommend changing the oil after 8046.72 Kms. If you drive infrequently or make short trips, you may need to change your oil more frequently. Synthetic oil needs to be changed less often than conventional oil, and some synthetic oils can go more than 32186.88 Kms between changes!
Check your oil dipstick regularly to see if your vehicle is leaking oil. Worn parts like engine gaskets, oil pans and oil seals can all leak oil, and you may notice a burnt oil smell or blue smoke coming from your tailpipe when driving.
If you are comfortable maintaining your vehicle yourself, you can examine the seals on your oil pan and valve covers for loose bolts. If the problem is more serious, or you don’t have the experience or equipment to address it yourself, you can bring your vehicle into a Mopar® service center and we can help.
Motor oil lubricates your engine, making sure that all components of your engine function smoothly with little energy lost to friction in the engine. This reduces wear on engine parts, helping your engine last longer.
Particles can accumulate in the engine through normal use. As engine oil circulates, it picks up dust and debris and delivers them to the engine oil filter, keeping them away from engine components.
Most motor oils have additives that inhibit the development of rust and corrosion in the engine. Oxidization weakens engine parts and can make them wear down faster. Preventing rust helps keep the engine running longer
Your engine can get pretty hot, and when it gets too hot, machinery can malfunction. Engine oil circulates throughout the engine, ensuring that heat dissipates to cooler parts of the engine
Certain oils are optimized for performance in extreme weather, ensuring engine start-up even when it’s cold outside and limiting volume loss to burn-off in hot weather.
When your engine is functioning smoothly, it requires less energy to operate, saving you money on fuel. Reducing engine drag can also result in better energy transfer in the engine, so you get more power for your needs.
Manufacturers recommend regular oil changes to keep your vehicle functioning at top performance. Our certified technicians can change your oil while you wait.
The filter helps trap particulates in your engine, keeping things running smoothly. You don’t need to change your filter as often as you change your oil, but eventually your filter will become clogged and won’t function as well.
