Full synthetic meets the typical factory recommendation ({{vehicle.oem_oil_spec}}) and provides better high‑temperature stability than conventional oil or blends.

- Full synthetic: superior thermal stability and turbo protection
- Synthetic blend: compromise of cost and improved performance vs. conventional
- Conventional: lower cost, shorter life between changes
