There are many myths people should keep in mind when it comes to motor oil.
The first myth concerning motor oil is that once you switch to synthetic oil you cannot go back to traditional motor oil. This is far from true. Any vehicle, whether old or new, will have the ability to switch back and forth from synthetic oil to traditional motor oil at any time. At Maple Hill Volvo Cars you will get your first oil change free.
Another myth is that motor oil has to be changed at 5,000 miles and synthetic oil has to be changed at 10,000 miles. This is also not true. Whether you are using synthetic or traditional motor oil, you should change your oil every 5,000 miles regardless. Yes, synthetic oil is known for lasting a little longer, but your vehicle manual will tell you to change the oil every 5,000 miles anyway. People living in Kalamazoo, MI enjoy freshly oiled engines.
