Winter (is coming!) Vehicle Maintenance Tips

Now is the perfect time to think about winter driving.  There’s a chill in the air and maybe even frost on your windshield.  Make sure your vehicle is ready for the colder months ahead with regular preventive maintenance at Jiffy Lube.  It’s what your car needs, all under one roof.  That’s a job for Jiffy™!

Oil change – Be diligent about changing your oil and filter at the recommended intervals.  Oil is the life blood of your vehicle and the most crucial part of any car.  Getting regular oil changes is the most important part of any vehicle maintenance program.  Enough said.

Wiper Blades – There’s moisture in the forecast!  Your vehicle’s wiper system keeps debris, excessive water, snow and dirt from building up on your windshield and interfering with visibility.  Wiper blades should be inspected regularly and replaced when worn (at least every 6-12 months).  Inspecting key components, including wiper blades, is part of every Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change.

Battery – A car’s battery is an overlooked item that many drivers tend to forget about.  You get into your vehicle, turn the key and you’re on your way.  Magic!  Until that day when…click…click…click.  Don’t let this happen to you.   Battery testing and maintenance is performed with every Jiffy Lube Signature ServiceOil Change.  Car battery testing can also be performed as a standalone service.

Radiator Antifreeze – Prevent engine freeze-up by regularly checking your vehicle’s antifreeze.  Inspecting key components, including antifreeze and coolant reservoir levels, is part of every Jiffy Lube SignatureService Oil Change.

Lights – Daylight is in short supply during winter months.  Headlights, brake lights, interior lights and signal lights should be in full, working order.  Also, make sure to aim your headlights properly so they illuminate the road and not blind other drivers if they’re positioned too high.  Inspecting key components, including exterior lights, is part of every Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change.
