One very frequently asked question when dealing with the issues of lubrication and filtration issues, is one that goes something like this:

“Mr. motor oil expert: I’ve heard that if I make the switch to synthetic oil in my vehicle, I can never go back. If I try to go back to petroleum oil, my engine will spew up goofy green mucus or will give up the ghost and just simply fall flat on the side of the road somewhere in a heap. What’s the real truth? Am I really playing with fire here or is this just another one of Uncle Manny’s Myths?”

Of course, the “politic” answer is, “You MIGHT ‘jack’ your vehicle by switching back and forth between petroleum and synthetic oil …” However, I think it might be useful to provide you with something just a bit more useful. So, I encourage you to play the video below for a little detail on this issue.
