Motor Oil Matters: Jiffy Lube Review & $35 Gift Card Giveaway (Closed)

When you are driving around, do you ever think about what is flowing through your car, how it runs, or even when the next maintenance is scheduled? This is something that I am very keen in to with my vehicles.

Did you know that in the United States the average age of cars and light trucks on the roads today has reached a record high of 9.4 years? That means it’s more important than ever to take proper care of your vehicle. We are right at 6 years for hubby’s vehicle and I just bought a new (used) vehicle last week that is 3 years old. We spend a lot of money ON our vehicles, so why not take the time to keep it maintained while we own it?

With the informative Web site www.MotorOilMatters.org (created by the maker of industry-leading brands Pennzoil and Quaker State) you can easily locate key information about how quality motor oils can help prolong your engine’s life and improve overall efficiency, as well as help answer other questions you may have about motor oil. In addition, the site offers a fun, educational game for you to play called “M.O.M. Knows Best” where you can put your motor mind to the test with an interactive quiz.

Did you know?

• According to a recent survey from the Automotive Service Association, more than 54 percent of customers who take their vehicles for service and repair are women
• Using a high-quality motor oil in the right grade can help maximize fuel economy
• Low-quality oils that do not meet industry standards or the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements could cost consumers in the long run by potentially damaging the vehicle’s engine or possibly voiding the manufacturer’s warranty
• Another reason to look to a high-quality motor oil – like Pennzoil and Quaker State – is that it is designed to meet the demands of today’s engines

I have been to several Jiffy Lube locations, and I have to say that each and every time I have been, I have been treated with the utmost respect, the prices are reasonable and I feel great knowing that my vehicle is in great hands. Overall – we had a wonderful experience and we didn’t have to wait near as long as I have in the past at other places. With both of our vehicles, we don’t just trust anyone with them, so seeing how Jiffy Lube treated my car, and my family while we were there, did make me choose to go back to them again the next time we need our oil changed!
