Using the right motor oil is important for engine maintenance. If you use the wrong oil your engine could lose power, burn gasoline at a faster rate, or even break down altogether.
Your car’s owner’s manual will detail exactly which fluids your car needs.
Here are some indicators that you may have put the wrong motor oil in your car’s engine.
  • Your car’s engine struggles to start in cold weather
  • You notice your car is leaking oil
  • You smell burning oil when you drive
  • Your car’s fuel efficiency has dipped
  • You hear a ticking sound coming from your engine in cold weather
If you suspect you’ve put the wrong oil in your engine, contact your mechanic immediately. They’ll probably have you bring your car into the shop where they’ll flush out the bad oil and replace it with the proper type.
Regular oil changes help keep your car’s engine in good repair and will save you money in the long run. Another way to save money is to shop for
