Full synthetic oil resists breakdown longer than conventional and blends due to higher-quality base stocks and additive packages.

While conventional oil can lubricate adequately, the CR-Zs efficient 1.5L engine benefits from the thermal stability and low-temperature flow of full synthetic 0W-20. This supports fuel economy and protection in Florida heat and start-stop driving. Our Palm Harbor team will confirm the correct spec and interval based on your usage.

• Full synthetic offers better high-heat stability and cold-start flow
• Blends provide mid-tier performance at a lower cost
• Conventional may require shorter change intervals
