First things first — there is a big difference between the “best” lubricant and the “right” lubricant for your car. When looking for new lubricant, start by looking at your vehicle’s maintenance manual to identify the standard authorized lubrant recommended by the manufacturer. You can use that as a starting point, and can match its viscosity with other brands.

Get The Highest Performance Lubricants for Your Car
While we started out by talking about the difference between the “best” and “right” lubricant for your vehicle, within the specific viscosity level for your vehicle, there are typically going to be a range of different options. For example, LOW SAPS lubricants avoid particle filter clogging, helping ensure your engine’s longevity.
Fuel Economy Lubricants
Other types of lubricants are designed to help lower your vehicle’s fuel consumption. However, while these may improve fuel economy due to their improved pumpability and lower churning losses, they also could have a viscosity too thin for your vehicle. Contact the team at Nitro Lubricants for advice about what your best options are!
How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
Factors such as the age of your vehicle, the type of oil you are using, and your typical driving conditions, all impact when it’s time to get your oil changed. In the past it was normal to get an oil change every 3,000 miles, but nowadays with modern lubricants it is more common to get it changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
If your oil is showing signs of needing to be changed, or you are in the 5,000 to 7,500 mile range, shop for the best lubricants from our Forest Lake, MN shop online!
