We at Viaz Tyres recognize how much value Engine Oil adds to your vehicle. Yet there are so many myths around Engine Oils that inhibit vehicle owners from making the right choices in maintenance. Here are some of the major ones debunked.

1. All engine oils are identical
   Myth:
   A lot of people believe that all engine oils are the same and that any kind would fit to their vehicle.
   
   Reality:
   The viscosity and standards of engine oils vary. The performance of the engine in your vehicle might be impacted by using the incorrect engine oil.

2. Greater Protection Is Provided by Thicker Oil
   Myth:
   Better lubrication and protection come from thicker oil.
   
   Reality:
   It's important to use the proper viscosity for your engine. Oil that is too thin can not offer enough protection, while oil that is too thick can increase friction and decrease fuel efficiency.

3. You Must Change Your Oil Every 3,000 Miles
   Myth:
   You have to replace oil every 3,000 miles or three months.
   
   Reality:
   Today's engine oils and engines often let you go longer between changes. Look at your car's manual to see what the maker suggests.

4. Synthetic Oils Cause Your Engine to Leak
   Myth:
   Changing to synthetic oil leads to engine leaks.
   
   Reality:
   Synthetic oils don't create leaks. But they can clean out gunk and show weak areas that were already there making hidden leaks noticeable.

5. You Can't Mix Synthetic and Regular Oils
   Misconception:
   Blending synthetic and regular oils will hurt your engine.
   
   Reality:
   Using one kind is ideal, but mixing oils won't cause harm. Still, it might lessen the good things about synthetic oil.

6. Engine Oil Lasts Forever Just Add More
   Misconception:
   Oil doesn't go bad; it just gets dirty, so adding more is enough.
   
   Reality:
   Engine oil breaks down because of heat, friction, and chemical changes. You need to change oil to keep your engine running well.

7. Oil Color Shows Its Quality
   Misconception:
   Dark oil is dirty and needs to be replaced right away.
   
   Reality:
   Oil color by itself doesn't tell you much about how good it is. Some oils turn dark because cleaners are doing their job well, not because they're dirty.

8. You Can't Switch Back to Regular Oil After Using Synthetic
   Misconception:
   You can't switch back to regular oil after using synthetic oil.
   
   Reality:
   You have the option to alternate between synthetic and regular oils without problems, although synthetic oil offers better protection and performance.

9. Engine Oil Additives Boost Performance
   Misconception:
   Using aftermarket oil additives makes engines perform better.
   
   Reality:
   Modern engine oils already contain the necessary additives. Extra additives can throw off the oil's balance and damage the engine.

10. Low Oil Pressure Always Means Low Oil Level
    Misconception:
    Low oil pressure always stems from low oil levels.
    
    Reality:
    Low oil pressure can also happen due to a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or worn engine parts. Be sure to investigate further if you notice low oil pressure.
