Did you know that in the United States the average age of cars and light trucks on the roads today has reached a record high of 9.4 years? That means it´s more important than ever to take proper care of your vehicle.
With the informative Web site www.MotorOilMatters.org (created by the maker of industry-leading brands Pennzoil and Quaker State) you can easily locate key information about how quality motor oils can help prolong your engine´s life and improve overall efficiency, as well as help answer other questions you may have about motor oil. In addition, the site offers a fun, educational game for you to play called "M.O.M. Knows Best" where you can put your motor mind to the test with an interactive quiz.
Did you know?
- According to a recent survey from the Automotive Service Association, more than 54 percent of customers who take their vehicles for service and repair are women.
- 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.
I learned the hard way how important it was to make sure that my car's oil was changed on a regular basis and with high quality oil. I was young and had never had the responsibility of taking care of my own car. My dad always did that for me (Thanks Dad!). I was on my way to the beach when my engine froze. It never recovered and I was out a car for months. I have never let my oil go like that again. It's was a major costly mistake.
The people at Shell Lubricants and MotorOilMatters.org have graciously offered to give one of you readers a $35.00 gift card to Jiffy Lube so that you can take care of your car.

I thought you were supposed to let the car run for a while in cold weather. I was wrong!
My next oil change was already on my calendar. It's the only way I'll remember to do it!
Yay--more singing! My daughter got to participate in this one, too!

I think it is safe to say with a 54% score almost everything they told me was news to me. The part about cars being on the road for 9.5 years and not to let your cars idle in the winter
Next oil change is june 4th and it is now on the calender
nobody is home so I just sang the song to myself and the empty room. No ears were harmed during my preformance :o)

I learned that the W in the motor oil brand actually stands for winter and not weight

My score was 85.71%.
The misconception I had was about the type of oil needed for a car. It can be overwhelming with all the choices!
It's added ~ plus the sticker they put on the car windshield does help to remind us too.
We sang ~ that's my little one's favorite song.
