Motor Oil Matters, $35 Jiffy Lube GC Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed. The winner was: Author: Elizabeth I Comment: I did not know that stop and go driving was considered “severe driving”

I don’t know  much about cars.  I’m not a grease monkey and I would be afraid to even attempt to jumpstart a car on my own.  I don’t like touching things that could possibly hurt me.  Also, I don’t want to screw up my car due to my ignorance.

I’m so glad that there are places like Jiffy Lube that can take care of normal maintenance on my car like oil changes.  To me, those things are worth paying for.  By keeping up with that my car will live a longer healthier life.

I learned some interesting things on the Motor Oil Matters website.  Did you know that the W on a bottle of oil stands for winter, not weight as many people believe?  On the website I also found videos from Ask Patty where she talks about Motor Oil.  It’s nice to have a woman so knowledgeable to explain it to the clueless, such as I…

I really had no idea what any of the differences were and why they were different.  This site is a great resource for others like me.  It feels better to know a little about what is going on so you can do more than nod and smile when someone is discussing care car with  you!
