Oil Change...spring cleaning for your car!

With the beautiful weather this week many people have spring cleaning on their mind. Don't forget spring cleaning for your car. Jiffy Lube wants to remind you that it is important to change your oil every three thousand miles, or as reccommended by your manufacturer.  Motor oil gets contaminated by substances like dust, metallic shavings and even antifreeze. And did you know that the additive package, which is part of your fully formulated motor oil, will break down in time and become a contaminant, too?
As contaminants are whipped into the oil, sludge is formed. This sludge will stick to parts of the engine causing the engine to perform less efficiently.  Eventually, this sludge can cause engine failure.
Neglecting oil changes is hazardous to your engine's health, especially if you drive under severe driving conditions, which most people do. Severe conditions include making short trips, driving in stop-and-go traffic, extended idling, driving in dust or dirty air, towing trailers and cold weather driving.



So as you do your spring cleaning, remember your car. And here is a coupon to make it just a little easier on the wallet.
