You probably have heard and believe all sorts of myths about motor oil for your vehicle, yet it's hard to know what to believe. These are some of the most common ones, which are simply untrue.
Do you have to change oil very 3,000 miles? No today's motor oil formulations last much longer, in some cases up to 18,000 mils depending on your vehicle and the oil type. The W in the oil type does not stand for weight. Instead, it means winter, with the numbers standing for the oil's viscosity. All oils are basically the same. Again, this is not true. Motor oils have different weights and viscosities to work better in hot or cold weather.
You cannot change brands of motor oil as it will hurt your car's engine. Yes, you can, you can also go from regular to synthetic oil. Just as the technicians at LUKE FRUIA MOTORS for the best advice.
