Types of Oil Changes We Provide

At Tom Wood Honda of Anderson, we understand your vehicle and its service requirements inside and out. When it comes to Hondas and oil changes, we have a team of factory-trained and certified technicians, a stockpile of Honda-approved engine oil recommended for your model, and a Parts Department with Honda OEM Oil Filters perfect for your vehicle. Here is an overview of the Honda Oil Change Types:

 Conventional - is also called Regular or Standard motor oil; it represents the basic engine oil commonly recommended broadly for many Honda models. It is growing less popular as Honda generally moves to Synthetics but is an excellent option for older-model Hondas.

 Semi-Synthetic - is also referred to as Synthetic Blend, this oil type is the middle ground between conventional and full-synthetic. It is improved beyond conventional through additional refinement that helps it resist thermal breakdown longer.

 Full-Synthetic - entirely man-made, this type of oil is produced without crude oil and requires a considerable amount of refinement. It performs the best in terms of resisting thermal breakdown while maintaining viscosity for longer.

When to Schedule an Oil Change

Engine oil lasts for thousands of miles but will eventually start to break down and lose viscosity. It is the best idea to follow Honda's recommended oil change schedule found in the owner's manual to prevent consequences related to oil's thermal breakdown. However, it is also wise to monitor your vehicle's performance for warning signs of an engine oil problem. When your Honda car, truck, van, or SUV is due for its next oil change, we invite you to Tom Wood Honda of Anderson for a world-class service from our Honda Service Department. We are conveniently located in Anderson near Muncie and Indianapolis, IN.
