Using the specified viscosity and formulation helps protect the 2.3L turbo under load and during hot Fort Worth summers. We pair the correct oil with an OEM-quality filter and reset your oil-life monitor at each visit. If you’re unsure about the exact spec, our advisors will confirm it by VIN.

- Conventional: lowest cost, shortest protection window
- Synthetic blend: balanced cost and stability
- Full synthetic: best for heat, towing, and turbo longevity
