The Truth Behind Synthetic Oil Stories

You Should Always Use Conventional Oil First

Let's start out with one of the less offensive myths: you should use conventional oil first. This one used to be true: engines did need to be broken in with conventional oil. Still, there have been a number of technological advances with engines and oils. Nowadays, you can feel free to use synthetic oil from the very beginning.

Synthetic Oil is Completely Artificial

The second myth in this post is that synthetic oil is done in the lab 100%. However, both conventional and synthetic oil are made from one same primary source: natural oil. The differences between the two oils comes from the processes the natural oil goes through afterwards.

It Could Void the Vehicle's Warranty

Probably one of the more untruthful myths on the list is that the use of synthetic oil can void a vehicle's warranty. Not only is this not the case at all, but many manufacturers actually recommend the use of synthetic oil. In any case, as you meet your vehicle's requirements, the warranty will be intact.

Its Use Can Lead to Cracks and Leaks

Another common misconception regarding synthetic oil is that it somehow causes cracks and leaks to appear on the engine. The reason it may seem that way is that synthetic oil is thinner than conventional oil. This means that it finds those pre-exisiting issues more easily. In any case, if the engine is leaking, visit a mechanic fast.

You Can't Use Conventional Oil Again

For some reason, there's this other myth that says once you use synthetic oil, you can never go back to conventional oil. But, as you can imagine, this isn't the case. In fact, you can switch between the two as many times as you want or your vehicle needs.

It Doesn't Need to Be Changed

This is not only a myth, but a dangerous lie to believe. Synthetic oil absolutely needs to be replaced with some regularity, so your engine can remain protected, lubricated, and strong. Yes, synthetic oil is more resistant than conventional oil, but it still needs to be changed if you want to avoid the consequences of an unprotected engine.

The Oil Filter Doesn't Need to Be Changed Either

If you need to change the synthetic oil, then the oil filter also has to be changed. It is in charge of filtering out filth that wants to make its way into the engine. Still, just as the synthetic oil becomes ineffective after some time and needs to be replaced, so does the oil filter has to be changed so your engine doesn't suffer.

Synthetic Oil Costs More

Finally, yes, this myth is true at first glance. Still, after you take into account how much money you save when you use synthetic oil continually (improved performance, smoother working engine, higher fuel efficiency, fewer oil replacements, etc.), you will notice it makes more financial sense to use synthetic oil.
