Motor oil is the primary component that helps to keep metal parts inside of the engine properly lubricated. If your motor oil is too old or dirty, it may clog or otherwise ruin the parts it is supposed to protect.
At Genesis of Annapolis in Annapolis, MD, we want to make sure that you can separate fact from fiction as it relates to what you put in your car. For instance, you don't need to change the oil every 3,000 miles. In many cases, you can go 5,000 miles or more before you need to worry about accomplishing this task.
You also don't necessarily need to worry about the color of your motor oil and can keep it even if it turns a dark black color. Finally, you should know that any additives included with your motor oil won't help your engine perform any better than it's designed to.
