Does Type of Oil Matter?

Summary

DART uses Mobil 1 synthetic oil for all oil changes across every make they service. Synthetic oil outperforms regular refined crude oil in modern engines that run hotter and use lighter materials.

  • DART chose Mobil 1 synthetic oil because it meets or exceeds warranty requirements and improves engine cleanliness. It also offers strong protection against wear and extreme temperatures.
  • Synthetic oil is especially beneficial for turbocharged engines, which face higher stress and heat. Regular crude oil no longer keeps up with the demands of today's vehicles.
  • DART recommends changing your oil every 5,000 miles. This interval helps maintain engine health and performance over time.
Does the type of oil matter for your engine?

Yes, the type of oil you use matters for your engine's health and performance. Different engines require specific oil viscosities and formulations, such as conventional, synthetic, or high-mileage blends. Using the wrong oil can lead to increased wear, reduced efficiency, and potential long-term damage to engine components.

There are so many brands and types of oil on the market. How do you choose the right kind?

Regular oil is refined crude oil.  While it was great for lubricating engines for years, today’s vehicles put out more energy at higher temps with lighter materials.  DART has chosen to use Mobil 1 synthetic oil for all oil changes for all makes we service.  Why?  Mobile 1 synthetic oil meets or exceeds the warranty requirements, improves engine cleanliness, offers the best protection against wear and high/low temperatures.  This is especially true with turbo charged engines.

We recommend changing your oil every 5000 miles.
