Time for an Oil Change? Use a Synthetic Blend

Conventional vs Synthetic Oil

When getting your car's oil changed, there are three types of motor oil to consider...

• Conventional 
• Synthetic Blend 
• Full Synthetic

Conventional motor oil is mined from the ground.  Some people attempt to cut costs by using conventional (cheaper) motor oil and changing their oil more often. This isn't necessarily a good plan. Conventional oil doesn't protect your car's engine from contaminants that may build up and damage your engine. Even with frequent oil changes, sludge can build up and clog your engine oil passages and valves that results in a shorter life span for your car's engine.


Fully Synthetic oil is manufactured in a lab using extra refining in its development. Although it preserves your car's engine for a longer period of time and requires fewer oil changes, it can be expensive.


Synthetic Blend motor oil is combination of both. It contains additives which contribute to reducing overall engine wear. Also, the detergents found in the synthetic component of the oil help fight the build up of acids in the engine oil, and help clean carbon and other contaminants. Synthetic blend is a good option for engines that will be seeing heavy duty or extreme conditions.



Synthetic blend motor oil is an excellent choice for those who want the protection of synthetic oil but don't want to spend a large amount of money.

Winter is Here - Protect Your Car's Exterior

It's snowing in Spokane, and there's more on the way. Woo-hoo!

You threw your coat on this morning to protect you from the weather, but what have you done to protect your car from the weather?

Here are some tips that will keep your car looking great all winter -

Exterior Road Salt Damage

• Wash your vehicle at least twice a month during the winter to remove road salt and grime that can damage your car's finish.
• Use a quality wax and a paint sealant to protect your car's paint finish. These products repel rain, snow and other precipitation and the contaminates within them. They also protect against the road salt used to de-ice the roads. A quality wax will work, but a paint sealant tends to last longer and requires less frequent applications. 

• Use specially developed cleaners and protective solutions to protect your tires. Clean your tires and treat them with a a tire wax to protect them from snow and ice. The rubber needs to be kept supple in freezing temperatures to prevent cracking. Use a product which hydrates the rubber to keep it flexible.
