Yay! Just in time for upcoming road trips!! We are giving away two FREE Jiffy Lube Gift Cards to get your vehicle ready for summer fun!
This giveaway is to help you thriftily maintain your vehicle. We have wrote how important a good quality oil change is to the maintenance of your vehicle and for fuel efficiency. Well you can get more specific information about the importance of this by visiting MotorOilMatters.org. This is a site dedicated to providing you with information and resources to get the most and best use out of your vehicle and to help prevent costly repairs!
Here is just a tidbit of information that you will find on the site:
- Using a high-quality motor oil in the right grade can help maximize fuel economy
- Low-quality 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 warranty
- Another reason to look to a high-quality motor oil – like Pennzoil and Quaker State – is that it is designed to meet the demands of today’s engines
You can also see the most common questions and answers regarding oil and vehicle maintenance too! PLUS the site, askpatty.com has automotive advice for women!
So we are giving two $35 Jiffy Lube gift cards to start your thrifty vehicle maintenence! This will give you at least 1 FREE oil-change or more if you use the awesome Jiffy Lube coupons!
- To get coupons to Jiffy Lube, head to one of their centers and buy a coupon book for $3 (goes to a good cause) and then receive many high value coupons to use throughout the year.
- You can also sign-up for their emails to receive even more offers! Call your location ahead of time to see if they have any other offers too!
- Also, check your Red Plum mailer every week as we often find high value coupons in there too!

Wow, never been to MotorOilMatters website before. Cool! I learned you are supposed to look for the API symbol to know it is a good oil – had no clue! Thanks for sharing the link!

Cassie,
I am embarrassed that I cannot even tell you when poor Sassy (my car) had her oil changed. I’m surprised her insides haven’t froze up! Thanks for this chance to win.

You have to look for the API symbol to know it’s a quality type of oil. I wish I had known this before. Very helpful!!
Thanks for this opportunity. It’d be such a blessing to win!! I have a truck needing an oil change.

I learned that the W in motor oil stands for Winter and not Weight like most people think.
Thanks!

That there are different grades of oil surprised me! I thought it all came from one tank!
Melody M
I didn’t know that the “W” in motor oil names stands for “winter” as opposed to “weight”. Interesting.

I keep all of my Jiffy Lube receipts for my vehicles. Just recently I sold my car and had my receipts of all of the maintenance I had kept on the car. The buyer was so impressed and knew it had been well maintained because of the Jiffy Lube receipts. I love Jiffy Lube!
vicky
I love jiffy lube. While my hubby was deployed the guys there took great care of my car.

I always thought the “W” stood for weight, but it is actually winter. My husband usually changes my oil, but he is working away from home right now.

I don’t know a whole lot–I got a 4/7 on the quiz! 🙁
Andrea Hales
The last time I got my oil changed, I was pleased to not be pushed to have other services done at the same time. However, I do like that Jiffy Lube gives you an update on some of the basic things they see in your vehicle–like how your air filter is doing.

I found out that the API Service Symbol (“Donut”) and API Certification Mark (“Starburst”) identifies quality engine oils for many gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles…who knew?

I enjoy going to Jiffy Lube. They never pressure you to add on additional services, which is nice.
Kristen
I learned that it’s okay to switch between conventional and synthetic motor oil.
