Motor Oil Matters, $35 Jiffy Lube GC Giveaway!

by //

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!

    I found the matter of fact section interesting. It provides answers to almost any question you might have about oil.

    Thanks for the giveaway…the most interesting feature on the Motor Oil Matters site is the online tool found on the “Choosing Oil Matters” page that is designed to help you match the correct Lubricants to your vehicle’s needs according to the specific Make & Model of your vehicle.

    What I found most interesting came from “News That Matters”. It explained the differences in motor oils which I was not aware of before reading this.

    I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE DRIVING I DO….SHORT, SHORT TRIPS TO THE GROCERY STORE AND DR AND MALL WERE CONSIDERED SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS

  94. Veronica Garrett says

    I found the Motor Oil FAXs most interesting. I had the misconception about how often I should change oil put to rest. I had been told several different answers. I score 100% on the test.

  104. Melissa H. says

    I found the lubematch link to be very helpful in discovering the correct type of oil each of my vehicles need.

  111. Jane Hoh says

    I learned that W stands for winter and not weight like I had always believed. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

  116. Nanette Olson says

    The tips section was interesting and I learned that each vehicle manufacturer tests its own vehicles to determine the proper drain interval.

  128. DANIELLE WALDO says

    I did not know thier were additives in motor oil and i found it interesting that. Additive packages play a key role in helping to keep an engine clean and protected from varnish and sludge, as well as provide wear protection and protection from heat and acids
