At Sunset Cadillac of Bradenton in Bradenton, FL, we always want to ensure that our community knows the facts about servicing their vehicles. But, unfortunately, there are several myths about motor oil that we can clear up, so you know exactly when your vehicle needs to be serviced or not.
One of the biggest myths is that if you put synthetic oil in your vehicle, you can't ever switch back to conventional oil. This is not true and will not cause damage to your engine if you do so. There is also admit that synthetic oil can cause damage to your vehicle's engine. This may have been true a decade ago, but now the oil is refined and will not cause leaks in your vehicle or damage seals and gaskets.
There is a myth that you should always change your engine oil every 3000 miles. This is not true. Consult your owner's manual and talk to one of our service professionals about how much you drive your vehicle. Many times you can go 10,000 miles without changing the oil in your vehicle.
