Our team at Nissan of Meridian in Meridian, MS wants you to know that keeping oil in your car is essential to keeping your motor running well for years to come. While it's often difficult to completely understand how your car works, there are some myths about motor oil that we would like to dispel today so that you can better understand what you need to do with your engine oil to keep your car running well for years to come.
First off, don't feel like you have to stick with synthetic oil just because you put it in your car once. You should always follow the instructions that the manufacturer of your car has put out, but you might be able to switch between synthetic and conventional oil to save money on oil changes.
Secondly, you don't necessarily have to get your oil changed every 3,000 miles or three months. This is the old standard, but cars are built to go longer between oil changes today. Look at your car manufacturer's recommendations to make sure you're changing at the right time.
