The need to protect high mileage vehicles has increased as consumers keep their vehicles for longer periods of time, operate longer hours and drive further distances. ELITE High Mileage Synthetic Blend Gasoline Engine Oil is designed to protect older engines and improve upon past performance. This product will help keep seal swell from occurring, preventing oil from leaking outside of the engine and keeping dirt from entering the sealing area, avoiding premature wear. Rigorous testing trials performed show that 93 per cent of seals had a reduction in seal diameter, resulting in a tighter fit around the crankshaft and less opportunity for oil to leak past the engine seal.
What is considered high mileage?
Although there are no definitive guidelines for what is deemed as “high mileage”, the average driver would classify high mileage as anything over 80,000 km. This number, of course, could vary based on the type of driving the vehicle is taking on. It is commonly understood that highway miles are less taxing on an engine than city miles, and research seems to support this. Highway miles have fewer starts and stops.
You might consider switching to Elite High Mileage Synthetic Blend Oil if:
- You back your car out of the garage and find oil stains on the ground where your car was parked. Oil drips could indicate a loosening of engine parts.
- You look under the hood and notice oil streaks on lower engine parts.
- Your engine sounds louder than normal. A rattling noise might signal that your engine could benefit from an engine oil that improves engine performance and provides future protection against wear in high mileage engines.
How does my engine benefit from high mileage oil?
- High mileage oil addresses specific weaknesses in your engine that are related to old age.
- Reduced oil consumption: High mileage vehicles tend to leak and burn off more oil than younger cars because of degraded engine seals. High mileage oil helps restore damaged seals, which leads to less oil consumption and burn off.
- Less engine sludge: Older engines tend to accumulate sludge left behind by other motor oils. High mileage oil breaks up and dissolves residual sludge.
- Protection from damage: High mileage vehicles tend to suffer from more general wear and tear than younger cars. The additives in high mileage oil preserve and protect your entire engine.
