What Oil is What?

The “Check Engine” light on your dashboard illuminates. You look up and realize you’ve passed the mileage on your oil change sticker. It’s time to visit your nearest Jiffy Lube for a Signature Service Oil Change. But you know when you get there they’ll ask you what oil you want, and because you’ve never really known the difference, you’ve always had conventional because it was the cheapest. So what is the difference?

There are four types of oils to choose from: Conventional, High Mileage, Synthetic Blend and Synthetic. Some vehicles require synthetic oil (BMWs, Audis and some Subarus, among others), so be sure to check if your vehicle has any requirements.

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.

When to Check Your Oil

One point we want to drive home to our readers is that motor oil truly is the lifeblood of your vehicle. Too many vehicle problems and breakdowns are caused by poor oil habits. One habit that we should all pick up is to check our oil every other time we get gas. Even in newer vehicles, your oil level is going to get low, it is just a matter of time. So, every other time you find yourself at the pump, just follow the following procedure for an accurate reading of your oil level.
