At Raymond Kia in Antioch, IL, we have the facts about motor oil. Unfortunately, there are plenty of motor oil myths out there in the service industry, so we want to make sure that you have these facts about a couple of them so you have peace of mind when you get your vehicle serviced.
One of the biggest myths about motor oil has to do with the filter. Plenty of people think they don't need to change the oil filter every time they change their oil. However, a filter is only made to last a certain amount of time, so it is vital to have it changed every time your oil is changed.
Another myth is that if you have bulk oil put into your vehicle at a service station, it has a lower quality than individually modeled oil that comes in a smaller container. The truth is all of the oil is the same. If it has a brand name and the exact details on it, the container doesn't matter.
