Main theme: Be it a trend toward more do-it-yourself auto maintenance or reduced driving miles related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have received a number of questions related to engine oil. To help navigate the topic, we discuss all things oil—from what those oil designations mean to the benefits of synthetic oils to when to change it. Join us for Motor Oil 101.
Driven this week: 2021 Acura TLX
