High Mileage Oil Change

It's a proven fact. Americans are holding on to their vehicles longer than they did a decade ago. Some of them become like members of the family. It was the vehicle you drove to the Grand Canyon or the car that your teenager took to his first real date. The last thing you want to see is for it to grow old before its time. Fortunately, your local Jiffy Lube^® has motor oils designed specifically for higher mileage vehicles.

Oils for high mileage vehicles are generally recommended for use on any ride with over 75,000 miles on the odometer. Doesn’t matter if it's 5 years old or 25. As vehicles are used more and the miles add up, the likelihood of engine, performance and maintenance issues developing increases as well, making it even more important to keep all maintenance needs up to date.

So what does high mileage oil do to help?

As engines wear, seals can shrink and crack. Compression in each of the cylinders can begin to weaken. When those things happen, engines lose performance and start to consume more oil. Not good. Ultimately it can lead to major engine repairs. High mileage motor oil can help slow down engine wear and actually counteract some of the effects of Father Time. Most high mileage motor oils contain special thickeners and conditioning agents that can replenish worn and leaky seals and in many cases actually restore some of the lost compression. It’s not a cure all, but studies have shown high mileage motor oils can reduce oil consumption and keep older engines running healthier, longer. So you can keep the "family" intact. Check a Jiffy Lube^® service center near you to see what type of high mileage oil options are available to help keep your performance up. Another way Jiffy Lube can help you Leave Worry Behind^®.
