Moms wear many hats, not only are we mothers taking care of our kids, taking care of our home, but we also take care of our cars. About 54% of customers who take their car in for service or repair are women. Let Jiffy Lube take good care of your car – in a jiffy.
Jiffy Lube Hands-On Review
I was able to take my car in for a Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change and was thrilled at the service. This is not just an oil change although they do use quality motor oil and change the filter. They do a lot more at Jiffy to keep your car running smoothly so you don’t have to worry about it. Moms have enough to worry about.
Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change also includes an Inspection of:
- Brake fluid level (in transparent reservoirs)
- Serpentine belts
- Wiper blades
- Antifreeze/coolant reservoir levels
- Engine air filtration system
- Exterior lights
- Chassis (lubricate when applicable)
Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change also includes Checking and Filling of:
- Tire pressure
- Transmission/transaxle fluid
- Differential fluid
- Transfer case fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Windshield washer fluid
- Battery water (excluding sealed batteries)
Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change also includes Cleaning:
- Exterior windows
- Vacuum interior floors
I love that they do all of the above but as a mom, it’s great to get all of this done in about 10 minutes while I wait in the lobby. It is first-come, first-served but they get you in quickly and it only takes 10 minutes so I had no problems. I actually liked that I didn’t have to make and then keep an appointment while towing my kids with me. I especially love that they clean up all of the goldfish crackers laying on the backseat floor!
I like to get a deal or discount wherever I go. I also know that cheaper is not always better. Jiffy Lube uses quality motor oil for your car. My oil change was only $34.95 here in Akron, Ohio.
Automotive Websites educate you on how to extend the life of your car
Motor Oil Matters website is geared to educate you how the proper motor oil can extend the life of your vehicle’s engine and make it run more efficiently. They have all sorts of educational information that can benefit your family’s vehicles. Did you know? Using a high-quality motor oil in the right grade is important, it can help maximize fuel economy. More importantly (and costly if not properly handled), using a low-quality oils that doesn’t meet industry standards or your car’s manufacturer’s requirements could cost you more by possibly damaging your car’s engine and even voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Play the M.O.M. Knows Best Game to see how much you know!
Safety is important for moms. We try not to forget anything and to watch out for everything. The Jiffy Lube Website actually makes like easier for moms (and dads). They have a lot of great tips for travel safe that many people don’t think about. For instance, there is a Jiffy Lube Travel Tips for Hitting the Road This Summer article. This article is packed with useful information to keep your family safe during summer vacations. Some tips are: check fluid levels, keep water in trunk in case it overheats, keep an emergency kit, spray off bugs and debris from radiator, check tire pressure, rotate tires so they will wear evenly during your trip, etc.
There is also a great website just for women called Ask Patty. It is full of automotive advice just for women. You may even be inspired to be like the women race car drivers there!

W on oil cans stands for Winter and not Weight.
I learned that W stands for Winter!
I found it interesting that full synthetic motor oils typically outperform conventional and synthetic blend motor oils in nearly all aspects of engine protection.
I learned exactly when you should change your oil!
I scored 100 but I have taken this quiz several times.
I learned that not every car follows the same schedule for when you need an oil change and that you should check your owner’s manual.

I thought that the W in the motor oil rating stood for Weight like 10 weight or 5 weight but I guess it stands for Winter.
I thought the quiz was interesting and I learned that i know nothing about motor oil.
I found that Back in the 1960s, when Joe Wilson was racing hot rod Chevys, he would tear down the engines and find the motor oil black and gummy… until he tried Pennzoil.

I learned that the “W in motor oil names stands for winter, not weight as many people believe. I did not know that and found that very interesting. Thanks for the giveaway.
I thought the section on what constitutes severe driving was interesting. stop and go trip and short trips are considered this. Of course you need to check the owners manual to be sure for your own car.
http://twitter.com/carafferty/status/15441297530
I learned that idling is not the best way to warm up a car. Instead, start for a minute and accelerate slowly to operating temperature!
I didn’t know that city driving was considered severe.
I took the quiz and I learned that I got 7 out of 7, which means I got lucky consistently.

In my 40 years of driving I always heard that you should change your oil every 3000 miles—now I find out that each car is different and you should go by your owners manual! Guess I have some reading to do! Thanks-

I never realized the W in a oil’s description meant “winter” and not “weight”
I got 100% in the Mom Knows Best game!
I thought you were supposed to change your oil every 3000 (5000?) miles no matter what, but they said it varies by car and you should read your manual.
I learned that it’s okay to switch between conventional and synthetic oil.

A misconception I had was that the best way to warm my engine was to let it idle for a few minutes. It turns out that the best way is actually to allow the car to run for a minute and then accelerate slowly until the car comes up to operating temperature.
I found this interesting fact:
Does it matter if I change my oil regularly?
•Regular oil changes are one of the most important things that can be done to help extend the life of an engine.
•Changing your oil will remove harmful contaminants and dirt that have been collected in the oil.
IT ACTUALLY MATTERS WHICH OIL TYPE YOU PUT IN YOUR CAR

To me it was cool just to learn how the various oils are actually different.
