Ever since I started driving and bought my first car, I have known about the importance of getting regular oil changes. That is the the first thing my Dad and my friends told me about owning a car. It is very important to the maintenance of your car, and could save you a lot of money in the long run.
So I was very excited to receive a $35 gift card to Jiffy Lube to get an oil change. My husband and I really try to get the oil changed every 3000 miles on our cars. My husband took my car in on Friday to get an oil change and the service was great. He had a complete oil change done and was very satisfied with the service.
There is also a great website called MotorOilMatters.org. There is a lot of useful information on there. And is a great resource about motor oil changes and your vehicle.
Additionally, to make a trip to get your oil changed even more rewarding, Pennzoil® has partnered with the VH1 Save The Music Foundation through its "Play The Music. Save The Music" Campaign, and now through December 6, 2009 anyone can receive up to 46 FREE music downloads and up to a $15 service certificate back by mail, when they get their oil changed at Jiffy Lube and other Pennzoil® participating installers. See www.pennzoil.com for details and to find your local participating installer locations.
Win it: One lucky reader will win a $35 Gift Card to Jiffy Lube.

W stands for winter not weight. Which sort of makes sense, but weight makes more sense to me. :-)

I did not know that (a) it matters what oil you use and (b) that W doesn't stand for weight- it stands for winter.

The most interesting thing I learned was the proper way to warm up your car. Start engine and let run for one minute. Then accelerate slowly.
I took the quiz and FAILED. I got 3 wrong. Only got a score of 71% and passing was 80%.

I learned that the change in color of oil from when it goes on to when it comes out actually shows that the oil is doing it's job of ridding the engine of contaminants. Who knew?

The correct oil change interval is the one recommended by the engine manufacturer for your individual driving conditions.It is printed in the vehicle owner’s manual.

I learned that properly functioning motor oils help enhance fuel economy, prevent sludge and varnish deposits and maintain the ability to flow in low temperatures. I'll do anything to help with fuel economy! Thanks. utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com

I didn't know there was synthetic oil and conventional synthetic oil. And that synthetic is better. Interesting. :)
W stands for winter, not weight like my dad taught me.
