Is it bad for my engine to switch between synthetic and conventional motor oil?



THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Today's synthetics are totally compatible with conventional oil, and other leading synthetics. 

- Switch back and forth all you want. 

- Some who live where temperatures plummet well below zero use synthetic in the winter for its protection during cold starts and extreme temperatures and then switch to lower-priced conventional oil for warmer weather.

Synthetic Oil Is Always Better.



Synthetic Oil Is Always Better.


 "Synthetic oil is always better."

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Synthetic Oil and Regular Oil Perform Equally well.

- Synthetic oil is no better than natural oil for vehicles driven slowly in towns and cities, and at highway speeds, in a climate with moderate weather.

- It benefits only high-performance racing engines or vehicles that driven in very cold weather, below 0 degrees F. (-18 C.) for extended periods.

My Tire Is Covered By My Vehicle Manufacturer's Warranty - Including Punctures And Cuts


Some say,"My tire is covered by my vehicle manufacturer's warranty, including punctures and cuts."

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Tire manufacturers warranties cover workmanship and materials on the tires.
- Your vehicle's coverage does not include tires. The tire manufacturers' warranties do not cover use-related damages such as cuts, nail holes or impacts.
- However, some individual tire dealers do sell road hazard warranties at the time of a new replacement tire purchase, which can cover these types of problems.

Special Repair Methods Aren't Needed For Steel-Belted Radials


A common misconception - "Special repair methods aren't needed for steel-belted radials."

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- The proper method for repairing steel-belted radials requires that the tire be removed from the wheel.
- The hole be filled with a plug-type repair inserted from the outside of the tire; and a patch be placed over the hole from the inside of the tire.
- Be aware of the repair method used: If the tire isn't removed from the wheel and a patch placed on the inside, it is an improper repair.
