Oil Change
Industry experts recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles or 3 months for standard oil, and every 5,000 miles or 6 months for full synthetic. Speed Lube’s routine maintenance includes checking the following:
- Change the Oil and Filter
- Lube the Vehicle
- Check and Top Off All Fluids If Needed (Except Brake Fluid)
- Antifreeze Is An Additional Charge
- Check Air Filter
- Check Radiator Cap
- Check Wiper Blades
- Check Serpentine Belt
- Vacuum the Front Floorboards
- Check Tire Inflation
Advantages of Full Synthetic Oil
The technical advantages of synthetic motor oils include:
- Length between services
- Measurably better low and high temperature viscosity performance
- Better chemical & shear stability
- Decreased evaporative loss
- Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown and oil sludge problems
- Extended drain intervals with the environmental benefit of less oil waste
- Improved fuel economy in certain engine configurations
- Better lubrication on cold starts
- Longer engine life
Types of Oil
High Mileage
High Mileage oils are designed to maximize engine performance and help extend the engine life of vehicles with over 75,000 miles. High Mileage oils are made with a proprietary blend of high performance synthetic base stocks fortified with an additive system designed especially for higher mileage vehicles. Revitalizes seals and gaskets and helps reduce oil consumption.
NOTE: If your engine has excessive sludge deposits due to less-than-adequate maintenance practices, Speed Lube’s High Mileage oil can help by reducing the sludge left behind by conventional oils. For severe cases of sludge, short oil change intervals (3000 – 5000 miles) are recommended for the first 2-3 oil changes as reduction of the sludge takes place. In cases of engine damage that may have resulted from poor maintenance, even Speed Lube High Mileage oil cannot remedy years of neglect.
Full Synthetic
Semi-Blend
Lubricates internal engine parts. Better protection for the higher revving engines. Semi-Blend oils are blends of mineral oil with no more than 30% synthetic oil. Designed to have many of the benefits of synthetic oil without matching the cost of pure synthetic oil.
