Time to Go Synthetic - Why Choose Napleton CDJR for Your Next Oil Change

The high temperatures of summer are no friend to your car, truck or SUV's oil pan. That's why it is important to make an educated decision on what to put into your engine depending on what you do with your vehicle. It's also no time to be scrimping on an oil filter, which serves as your best line of defense in trapping dirt and debris before it can be circulated through your engine. Conversely, excessively cold temperatures can make for a sluggish motor oil that doesn't completely achieve an optimal operating temperature to do its job.

Conventional oils are still very popular and were most likely inside your engine when it drove off the assembly line, where it was built. But today synthetic and semi-synthetic oils are now more popular than ever, and feature a longer interval between oil and filter changes.  The service department at Ellwood City CDJR has a wide variety of motor oil and synthetic motor oil grades
that will satisfy almost every need and driving style.

Conventional motor oil, also known as mineral oil is the sure thing. It's like that high school football player who always produces. It's usable in every engine, but you must keep in mind that it will need changing as frequently as every 3,500 or so, depending on how hard you work your vehicle. To keep things simple, we recommend that you follow the advice of your Oil Change Indicator System and remember to change the oil filter at the same time. Be sure to contact your service advisor if you have any questions.

Semi-Synthetic motor oil represents the next step up in oil technology. It's a hybrid blend of synthetic and conventional motor oils formulated for vehicles which tend get quite a workout while helping you to do your job. Typical candidates see a lot of stop and go city and extended highway driving.  Benefits include longer-lasting performance than found with conventional oils with a useful life of approximately 8,000 miles.

At the tip of the spear is Synthetic motor oil. At its best, and developed for use in high-tech engines, it provides superior viscosity (the ability to flow through the engine internals) and better protection from deposits. It's suitable for year-round lubrication and protection of your Ellwood City Ram Dodge Jeep and Chrysler vehicles.



Popular vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Dodge Challenger are perfect candidates for synthetic motor oils. Available with a choice of the ultra-reliable Pentastar V6 or several flavors of Hemi V8 engines, they are perfectly at home wth synthetic motor oils and will provide minimal friction, and heat breakdown than conventional motor oil formulas. If hard work is what you do in your Ram 1500 pickup truck, then synthetic motor oil would be your logical choice. Designed for the pressure that a work truck sees in an average day, it will help keep you moving for many years to come. We all know of friends (or friends of friends!) who have let their oil go for too long. Following an extended time of neglect, the oil starts toasting itself, from its normal golden amber color to a thick black sludge.

Long lasting synthetics are the choice of Off-Roaders everywhere including in your Jeep: Your new Ellwood City, Jeep Compass, Grand Cherokee, Renegade, Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler vehicles are equally at home off and on road. Don't get stuck out there. The last thing you want to worry about is being thirty five miles off-road from the nearest paved street, not to mention service center, with anything but the best possible lubricants for your Jeep vehicle.
