To make sure your vehicle can endure hot summer driving, here are some basic oil change facts:

• Have regular oil changes. When oil is hot, it becomes thinner, which causes it to lose some of its cooling efficiency for the motor. Regular oil changes are crucial when it comes to protecting your motor against extreme changes in temperature.
• The importance of viscosity. Viscosity is measured using two numbers and a letter. For example, 10W-40; the first number (10) refers to the thickness at cold temperatures (0ºFahrenheit), and the second number refers to the thickness at high temperatures (212º Fahrenheit.) The first number is crucial for the cold months of winter--make sure your engine is protected at startup.
• The best oil for the best engine protection. Your selection will depend on the climate in which you live, compatibility with your vehicle, and your budget.

          -- Synthetic - maintains a more consistent viscosity over a wide range of temperatures, but it is more expensive. It could be incompatible with certain older engines.

          -- Premium conventional – natural oil with a higher quality for increased levels of protection.

          -- Synthetic blends - a combination of both natural and synthetic, providing the benefits of synthetic without the higher cost.

To make sure your vehicle survives summer's hot temperatures, check your owner's manual for the correct type of oil. Your oil change specialist can also give you expert advice if you have any questions.
