Which oil type is generally more expensive at Jiffy Lube?

Synthetic oil is generally more expensive at Jiffy Lube due to its advanced formulation and the manufacturing process required to create it. Unlike conventional oil, which is derived directly from crude oil, synthetic oil is engineered in a lab to provide better performance and protection for engines. This includes superior high-temperature stability, enhanced cleaning properties, and overall better engine longevity.

Synthetic oil also offers improved fuel efficiency and can reduce engine wear over time, making it more attractive to vehicle owners who prioritize long-term maintenance and performance. The costs associated with research and development, as well as the higher quality base stocks and additives blended into synthetic oils, contribute to their higher price point compared to other oil types available at Jiffy Lube.
