Service Reminder: 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.

What is the service?

The old antifreeze is flushed out of your radiator and replaced with new antifreeze per your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

Bring your vehicle in to a local Jiffy Lube Idaho today to make sure your radiator is ready to tackle the upcoming months.

The Way to MPG

Are you noticing a drop in your miles per gallon? Are you finding yourself at the gas station more often than ever before? If so, then your vehicle is in need of an MPG Maintenance Boost! Here is a list of the most common culprits that hurt your MPG.

Tuesday, May 15, 2018

What’s Octane?

You see it every time you fuel up at the gas station—octane. What does it mean? Are you using the right one? Continue reading to find out what octane actually means and if you are using the right octane grade.

Octane ratings measure fuel's ability to resist engine knock. Engine knock is caused by fuel being ignited by something other than the spark plug.



If you are using an octane grade that is too low for your vehicle, something other than the spark plug can ignite the fuel in the engine. The engine could even get hot enough where the fuel explodes by itself. This decreases the performance of your engine.

What octane does your vehicle require? Check your vehicle's owner's manual. Don't upgrade to more expensive octane ratings unless your manufacturer recommends it.

Jiffy Lube Idaho is here to help. Just stop on by your nearest Jiffy Lube and one of our qualified technicians will make sure your vehicle is running efficiently.

Jiffy Lube Fuel System Cleaning Service

Our Fuel System Cleaning Service will help dislodge and remove deposits of dirt and varnish on intake valves and cylinder heads—the very places you need to keep clean in your fuel system. The end result is a cleaner fuel system. 

Every time a vehicle’s driver presses the gas pedal, they are controlling how much fuel and air the engine takes in. The pedal tells the throttle valve how much air to let in and the computer tells the fuel system how much fuel to deliver. These calculated amounts of air and fuel are typically mixed together before being sucked into the combustion chamber of an engine cylinder. There the spark plug ignites the mixture, producing the controlled burn that powers the vehicle.
