Go Further & Save More with Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oil is the way to go if you're looking for better engine protection, improved fuel economy, and longer-lasting performance.
This advanced formula offers:
- Superior lubrication: Reduces wear and tear on engine components.
- Better temperature resistance: Performs well in Minnesota's extreme hot and cold conditions.
- Improved fuel efficiency: Reduces internal friction, helping you go further on every tank.
- Extended oil change intervals: Go up to 7,500 to 10,000 miles between changes, depending on your vehicle.
During the winter, synthetic oil flows easily even when temperatures drop sharply, which benefits drivers in Chanhassen and throughout Minnesota. Summer heat and stop-and-go traffic can also degrade oil more quickly, so using the right oil formulation matters for year-round reliability.
Synthetic oil helps maximize engine longevity while reducing harmful emissions, making it an excellent choice for performance and environmental responsibility. Not sure if synthetic oil is right for your vehicle? Our team is happy to guide you based on your driving habits and manufacturer recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get an oil change?
The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle’s make and model, the type of oil, and your driving habits. Typically, vehicles using conventional oil may need oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while those with synthetic oil can go up to 7,500 or even 10,000 miles. Consult your owner's manual or ask our technicians for personalized guidance.
Can weather affect the need for oil changes?
Yes, extreme temperatures influence your oil’s effectiveness. Cold starts in winter can thicken oil, reducing its lubricating power, while hot summers cause oil to break down faster. Using oil with the right viscosity for Minnesota’s weather helps keep your engine protected.
What are the signs that my vehicle needs an oil change?
Common symptoms that you need an oil change include loud engine noises or knocking sounds, low oil levels, dark or dirty oil on the dipstick, warning lights, and reduced fuel efficiency. We encourage routine checks and timely service to avoid bigger issues.
