We just found out that April is both National Car Care and National Informed Women Month and a perfect opportunity to get empowered to care for your car! 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. I took the quiz, and missed 3 out of 10 questions. Yes, it is true that I am not a huge car guy, though I have changed the oil and filters many times, I prefer to pay someone else to do it because they can also spot other areas with their trained eyes that to you and me would go un-noticed or even if we possibly did see it, may not understand the gravity of the situation. BTW, the questions are vast and taking the quiz several times will show you different questions, though you might see a repeat once or twice in two quizes.

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.

The contest is for a $35.00 Jiffy Lube Gift Card, which will cover most of the cost, if not all, of a conventional oil change at most Jiffy Lube locations (please click here to locate your nearest store).
