Giveaway: $35 Juffy Lube Gift Card (5/1)



Did you know April is both National Car Care and National Informed Women Month and a perfect opportunity to get empowered to care for your car! My Blog Spark and Shell Lubricants Sent me the $35 gift card pictured above to take my car in for an oil change and a lot of information to help me feel informed about the process! They are offering to send a $35 Jiffy Lube gift card to one lucky Thrifty Jenny reader!
I don't know about you but oil changes (and most car maintenance for that matter) is something I left up to my husband or my dad, but Pennzoil and Quaker State have created a really helpful website http://www.motoroilmatters.org/ so that 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.

The site also has an 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 scored a 100% so I guess I know more than I thought even though I am not the one who usually takes care of the oil changes!


My favorite fact from the website was what qualifies as severe driving. I know that for my car severe driving requires more frequent oil changes, but I did not know the real definition. Here it is:

What is considered severe driving?
Severe use typically includes stop-and-go driving, frequent high-speed driving and short trips. Towing, operating in dusty conditions and operating in cold and hot weather are also typically considered severe service.
You should review the severe service definition in your owner’s manual to determine the proper oil drain interval.

THE MOST INTERESTING FACT I LEARNED ON MOTOROILMATTERS.ORG WAS THAT THE W IN MOTOR OIL NAMES STANDS FOR "WINTER" AND NOT WEIGHT.

The "W" in motor oil names/variety stands for "winter". I was always told "weight" like many others.
