- Engine Performance: Clean oil ensures optimal engine performance by reducing friction and removing debris.
- Fuel Efficiency: Proper lubrication helps maintain fuel efficiency, saving you money at the pump.

Oil Types To Suit Every Vehicle
At Christian Brothers Automotive Wake Forest, we offer a range of oil types to cater to various engines:
- Conventional Oil: Ideal for older engines or those with high mileage.
- High-Mileage Oil: Designed to protect engines with higher mileage from wear and leaks.
- Full Synthetic Oil: Offers superior performance and protection for modern engines.
- Synthetic Blend Oil: Balances performance and cost for newer engine models.
Whatever your preference, we have the right oil to meet your vehicle's needs and enhance its performance.
Choosing the right oil doesn't just impact immediate engine performance; it plays a critical role in the long-term health of your vehicle. Full synthetic oils, for example, are engineered to offer better viscosity at extreme temperatures, reducing the breakdown risk and enhancing engine longevity.
On the other hand, vehicles with established histories benefit greatly from high-mileage oils, which contain additives to condition seals and reduce oil consumption, helping preserve the engine over time.
