Tom Scott Honda wants our Nampa, ID drivers to be knowledgeable about their vehicles, and we hear a lot of myths about motor oils, so we're here today to do some debunking.
The most common motor oil myth is also the most detrimental to vehicles. Many people believe you don't have to replace your oil filter every time you change your oil. This could not be more false. The oil filter removes the dirt, grime, and sludge that builds up in your engine. If you don't change your filter every oil cycle, you could be taking years off your engine's lifespan.
There are a lot of myths surrounding synthetic oil. Some car enthusiasts swear that synthetic oil causes leaks, and others believe that you can't go back to conventional oil after using a synthetic. Fortunately, neither of these myths is true. Modern synthetic oil is a great option that protects your engine from damage.
