Motor Oil Matters – Jiffy Lube Gift Card Giveaway And “Play The Music. Save The Music” Campaign!

motor oil matters

I never had much to do with the maintenance of our vehicles.  My hubby has always been the one to get the oil changed every 5,000 miles.   However, I do know the importance of regularly changing the oil and how it can make a huge difference in extending the life of the engine.  When the oil is changed it removes the nasty contaminates plus dirt that have been collected in the oil which can harm the engine and affect the overall performance.

Some  crucial details I am oblivious about is  what type of oil should be used to lubricate our vehicle’s engine and the significant difference between  using synthetic or conventional oil.  I should know this just in case I ever have to take care of  the car myself.  One way to get educated  quickly in the matter is by reading up on the facts at Motor Oil Matters.  The new website was created by industry-leading brands Pennzoil, Quaker State and Shell Rotella  so you can easily get essential information that will help prolong your engines life and answer any questions you may have about motor oil.  Motor Oil Matters  even has a free LubeMatch tool to assist in matching the correct oil to your vehicle’s make and model.

Did You Know

(following information quoted and provided by MyBlogSpark)

* According to a study by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, nearly 9 out of 10 female motorists are involved in their household’s vehicle maintenance and repair

* According to a national survey that polled 522 women, 46 percent incorrectly assumed simply switching from conventional engine oil to synthetic oil enables the number of miles between oil changes to be safely extended*

* Using a quality motor oil in the right grade can help maximize fuel economy, and help save money by preventing costly engine damage

* Off-brand, no-name or discount 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 warrant

* Jiffy Lube Survey Conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, 2006

How much do you know about motor oil?  Want to put your “motor mind” to the test?  Try playing the site’s fun educational game called “M.O.M. Knows Best” and see how well you do on the quiz.  I scored pitifully which is no big surprise! LOL!

“Play The Music. Save The Music” Campaign

“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.
