All You Need for Action-Geared Drives: Synthetic Oil

Do you look forward to getting everything possible out of your ride’s performance? Specifically, do you dominate with your Kia Stinger during track days, adventure the paths less traveled in your Seltos, or enjoy smooth and luxurious drives across the state? Then synthetic oil is likely the choice for you, as this fluid packs a higher viscosity level when compared to conventional blends, which brings more resistance to heat, allowing your motor to red-line more frequently (or at least be more comfortable in higher rev ranges), which is typical in most styles of high-performance driving.

Still not sure if synthetic oil is right for you? Our certified and factory-trained technicians can help—just let our team know how you plan to drive, and we’ll assist with your choice.

Built for General (and Affordable) Riding: Conventional Oil

It’s perfectly fine if you never intend to off-road or hit the track in your vehicle—for many, commuting around Minneapolis, getting to appointments on time, running errands around town, or simply getting from point A to point B is enough—and that’s where conventional oil saves the day. Since your motor won’t be reaching the same heat levels, you usually won’t need the higher viscosity grades to keep your vehicle in driving condition. Plus, you’ll still have the lubrication in your engine parts to help prevent excessive and premature wear and tear to help keep your trips to us to a minimum. Also, conventional oil typically costs less than synthetic grades, which helps you save on your next Kia oil change.
