The Truth About Motor Oil

At Jaguar North Austin Certified Pre-owned and Service in Austin, TX, we want you to know how to maintain your vehicle properly. Understanding the role that motor oil plays in keeping your engine running smoothly is an important part of accomplishing this task. Engine oil keeps metal parts lubricated and moving without scratching or scoring nearby components.

You may have heard that you need to change the oil every 3,000 miles. However, the truth is that modern products allow you to go up to 10,000 miles without doing so. Furthermore, you may have heard that you can’t use conventional oil if you’re currently using a synthetic product.

However, this is also not true as your car can handle any product that is rated for your vehicle’s make and model. Finally, it’s important to note that you must actually replace the oil as topping it off can be harmful to the engine’s long-term health.
