What Kind of Oil Does Jiffy Lube Use?

Jiffy Lube, a leading automotive service chain, offers a variety of oil choices for your vehicle. Their oil selection includes:

  • Conventional Oil: This mineral-based oil is the most basic type of oil and is suitable for vehicles with low mileage and/or older engines.
  • Semi-Synthetic Oil: This blend of conventional and synthetic oils provides improved protection and performance than conventional oil.
  • Synthetic Oil: This fully-synthetic oil delivers superior protection and performance, making it ideal for vehicles with high mileage, performance engines, and/or those driven in extreme conditions.
  • High Mileage Oil: Specially formulated for vehicles with over 75,000 miles, this oil contains additives designed to reduce leaks and extend engine life.
  • Diesel Oil: Specifically engineered for diesel engines, this oil provides enhanced protection against wear, rust, and corrosion.

When choosing an oil for your vehicle, consider factors such as your driving habits, the age and condition of your engine, and the manufacturer's recommendations. Jiffy Lube technicians can recommend the best oil for your specific needs.

  • What is the difference between conventional, semi-synthetic, and synthetic oil? Conventional oil is mineral-based, while semi-synthetic is a blend of conventional and synthetic. Synthetic oil is fully-synthetic and offers the highest level of protection and performance.
  • How often should I change my oil? The frequency of oil changes depends on factors such as your driving habits, the type of oil used, and the manufacturer's recommendations. Jiffy Lube recommends changing your oil every 5,000-7,500 miles or as indicated by your vehicle's oil life monitoring system.
  • What type of oil does my car take? Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a Jiffy Lube technician to determine the recommended oil type for your car.
  • Is it okay to mix different types of oil? While it is generally not recommended to mix different types of oil, in some cases, it may be necessary to top off your oil with a different type. However, it is always best to consult with a technician before mixing oil types.
  • How can I tell if my oil needs to be changed? Signs that your oil needs to be changed include dirty, dark-colored oil, a burning smell, or a decrease in engine performance.
