Engine Oil/Oil Changes Myth and Facts Thread

I thought I'd try and start something here since this is an automotive site. There isn't much debate on this site about oil and oil changes, whether people should use "this" weight and "that" weight or oil changes should be done every "5,000km" or "10,000km". I realized that even after years and decades of automotive discussions, different "words" and "recommendations" are still being thrown around and a lot of people are getting different(wrong) information. When I say a lot of people, I mean "enthusiast" , consumers and technicians/mechanics.

I would like to see what information and knowledge people have gathered about oil changes and the oils they use. Questions they have about it and using this thread as a way of throwing out the myths and getting all the proper facts that many others may find useful and interesting.

This should be a fun and long discussion/debate!

(I know there's some grammatical errors, mods can fix them!)
