31425 Quick Lube
High mileage oil change in Palm Harbor
Oil blended for engines that have already earned their keep, changed at the quick lube bays on US Highway 19.
What high mileage oil is actually for
An engine that has covered a lot of ground behaves differently from a new one. Seals harden, clearances open up slightly, and oil that used to stay put starts finding its way past components it never used to.
High mileage oil is blended with that in mind. It is not a repair and it will not undo wear, but for a lot of drivers in Palm Harbor it is the difference between topping up between services and not thinking about it at all.
What Pelican does at the bay

Frequently asked questions
When should I switch to high mileage oil?
There is no single odometer reading that forces the change. Drivers usually move to it once an engine has covered serious distance and they start noticing oil level dropping between changes.
What makes high mileage oil different?
High mileage formulations are blended with older engines in mind, with additives aimed at seal conditioning and at reducing oil consumption in engines that have worn in.
Can I go back to regular oil afterwards?
Yes. Nothing about high mileage oil locks your engine into it. Ask at the bay and we will fill whichever grade you want, as long as it suits the vehicle.
Do you service older vehicles?
Pelican services most major makes and models at the quick lube. Call (727) 787-9274 ahead of time if your vehicle is unusual and you want to be certain.
