The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity
from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the
air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and
pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where
pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through
the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown
into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor, where the cycle
begins once again.

Jiffy Lube Radiator Antifreeze/Coolant Service
The
engine cooling system in your vehicle circulates antifreeze through the engine
and radiator. The antifreeze is formulated to prevent corrosion inside the
cooling system and helps to maintain optimal engine operating temperature
regardless of outside conditions. Replacing the antifreeze at regular intervals
can help prevent overheating, freezing and premature cooling-system corrosion.

nothing worse than a dead battery when you’re somewhere in the desert or remote
mountains of Utah. If your 12 volt car battery does not answer the call every

a dead battery. Whether, your car needs a full battery replacement or just some
clean battery terminals, Jiffy Lube has a battery service that will help your
car to remain a self-starter.

Decoding the 10W30 on Motor Oil Containers
You
see those cryptic combinations of letters and numbers on motor oil bottles
everywhere. What do they mean?
To
decipher them, you have to understand viscosity. Viscosity measures how much
the motor oil can resist flow. In other words, if you tip a motor oil bottle
over, how fast it spills out indicates its viscosity. The more viscous, the
slower it moves.

How to Properly Dispose of your Motor Oil
The
Environmental Protection Agency estimates that about 185 million gallons of
used motor oil are improperly disposed of by consumers each year—dumped on the
ground, tossed in the trash, or poured down the drain. In fact, improperly
dumped motor oil releases about 25 times more oil into the environment than spills
from all modes of oil transportation combined.
