- Full Synthetic - Full synthetic engine oil lasts considerably longer than conventional oil; it also keeps your engine cleaner and flows better in both hot and cold conditions. Learn More
- Conventional - Made from refined crude oil, conventional engine oil keeps your engine's moving metal components lubricated so that they will not be damaged by friction.
- Semi-Synthetic - This special blend of conventional and synthetic oil can provide some of the benefits of both: it's less expensive than full synthetic oil, but keeps your engine cleaner than conventional.
- Diesel - If your vehicle has a diesel engine, it will require a special oil that has a different viscosity than oil meant for gas engines, as well as additional anti-wear additives.

Periodic oil changes are required to flush out existing oil and replace it with new oil. This is necessary because, over time, engine oil collects outside particles and contaminants such as water, dirt, metal shavings, and more. Dirty engine oil will not provide your engine with the same lubrication ability as clean oil and can put your engine at risk for damage. It is also not uncommon to experience poor fuel economy and weakened engine performance from old, dirty engine oil, as your engine has to work harder to compensate for the loss in lubrication. Drivers choose from three primary oil categories when changing their vehicle’s oil: conventional, synthetic, and semi-synthetic. Synthetic is the most robust type of oil, providing your engine with superior performance and protection. Conventional oil offers your engine basic lubrication ability, while semi-synthetic oil falls right in between the two regarding quality and value. We recommend that synthetic oil is changed every 7,500 miles, conventional oil is changed every 3,000 miles, and semi-synthetic oil is changed every 5,000 miles. No matter which type of oil you are looking for, you can find expert oil change services at Gates Nissan. Our technicians are Nissan-certified and work with genuine OEM engine oil and filters. All of our oil change services also include a complimentary multi-point inspection.
