When getting a Las Cruces oil change many people wonder if it’s a good idea to mix oils. There is an idea that some people have that if you mix synthetic and regular oil together then you will end up with a combined oil in your vehicle that gives you the benefits of both.

This idea seems to be little more than guesswork and may even be harmful to your vehicle. Without a strong understanding of your vehicle’s engine, mixing together different oils to create some superior formula is best left to the scientists. While it may not always cause a real problem, it certainly can and the risk is not worth the reward.

The best thing you can do to insure the longevity of your vehicle is to choose one type of oil and stick with it. If you have been getting your Santa Fe oil change from the same place for awhile, chances are that this is already what they are doing. Ask them what they use and try to stick with it.
