Drivers around Ahoskie, NC enjoy researching and speaking to others about vehicles. Unfortunately, some people and sources believe certain myths about motor oil. Here is the truth behind a few motor oil myths.
The first myth is your automobile needs new oil every 3,000 miles. While that could be true for some vehicles, that's not the case for all automobiles. Some vehicles can last upwards of 8,000 to 10,000 miles before requiring new oil. Feyer Ford of Ahoskie can help you understand when your vehicle needs an oil change.
Another motor oil myth is synthetic oil causes engine leaks. During the 1970s, when synthetic oils debuted, they caused occasional engine problems. However, modern synthetic oil doesn't cause leaks. You also shouldn't believe that switching from synthetic to conventional motor oils or vice versa will harm your vehicle. Unless your car requires synthetic motor oil, switching oil types shouldn't cause problems.
