The “Check Engine” light on your dashboard illuminates. You look up and realize you’ve passed the mileage on your oil change sticker. It’s time to visit your nearest Jiffy Lube for a Signature Service Oil Change. But you know when you get there they’ll ask you what oil you want, and because you’ve never really known the difference, you’ve always had conventional because it was the cheapest. So what is the difference?
There are four types of oils to choose from: Conventional, High Mileage, Synthetic Blend and Synthetic. Some vehicles require synthetic oil (BMWs, Audis and some Subarus, among others), so be sure to check if your vehicle has any requirements.
