An informative website www.MotorOilMatters.org has easy to locate information about motor oil and how quality products help prolong engine life and efficiency. The site has a "M.O.M. Know Best" Game where you can put your motor mind to the test.
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
This information comes from Shell Lubricants and www.MotorOilMatters.org. Through My Blogspark, Shell Lubricants and www.MotorOilMatters.org has sent me a $35 Gift Card to Jiffy Lube.

I found it interesting that W stands for winter, not weight, like so many people think.

I found it interesting they have little video clips and all these fact list on the website.I also thought there was a standard time to get your oil changed but they didn't say that.Weird.
Stop and go driving is considered severe driving...hmm...seems like I do that a lot while in traffic. Makes me wonder if I should check my manual to see if I need to change my oil more often!

I learned that the W in motor oil names stands for Winter!
I found out that each car has a different interval between oil changes---each model/type is different! We just scheduled ours at the same time. Oops!

I found interesting that Synthetic oils are formulated to be fully compatible with engine seals in an engine of any age so it doesnt cause leakes birdson@roadrunner.com

I learned that synthetic oils won't make seals in the engine leak.

For every vehicle, always make sure the oil meets the manufacturer’s requirements as listed in the owner’s manual.
I never knew that!

I learned that Severe Driving includes stop-and-go driving, frequent high-speed driving and short trips. We do a lot of short trips and I didn't know how much strain it is putting on the car.

I found the info on additives interesting (Additives can consist of anti-wear agents, friction modifiers, dispersants, detergents, viscosity index improvers and antioxidants). Interesting, huh?
