Prioritizing essential maintenance services this season isn't just about smooth driving; it's about safety, reliability, and preventing costly repairs when the temperatures really drop.
Here are some of the most important services to get done before the first frost hits.

Oil Change & Fluid Check/Fill
Fluids are the lifeblood of your vehicle, and colder weather affects their viscosity and function.
• Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change: Oil tends to thicken as temperatures drop. Old, dirty oil is even thicker and circulates slower, creating friction and strain during cold starts. A fall oil and filter change ensures your engine has clean, correctly graded oil for optimal lubrication on chilly mornings.
• Fluid Check/Fill: Every Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change includes the check/fill of the following vital fluids:
o Transmission/transaxle fluid
o Differential/transfer case fluid
o Power steering fluid
o Windshield washer fluid
o Battery water (excluding sealed batteries)
• Key Fluids Check: Every Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change includes checking and reporting on the following vital fluids:
o Antifreeze/coolant reservoir levels.
o Brake fluid level (in transparent reservoirs)

Battery Test and Service
The heat of summer can be brutal on your car's battery, causing internal damage and fluid evaporation. While the damage occurs in the summer, battery failure is most common in the winter because cold temperatures significantly reduce the battery's capacity to hold a charge.

A typical battery will generally last three to five years before needing replacement.

Tire Inspection (Pressure, Tread, and Rotation)
Your tires are your car's only point of contact with the road, making them critical for safety on wet, leaf-covered, or icy surfaces.

• Tire Pressure: Air pressure drops as temperatures fall—about 1 PSI for every 10°F drop in ambient temperature. Every Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change includes a tire pressure check/fill.
• Tire Rotation Services: Stop by your local Jiffy Lube® for a tire rotation to help ensure a smooth, safe ride. Get a tire rotation to promote even wear and extend their life. Regularly rotating your tires helps them wear more evenly, which can promote better fuel efficiency, consistent performance, and greater longevity.

Heating and Defroster System Check
Your heating and defroster systems are not just about comfort; they're a key safety feature, as they clear fog and ice from your windshield.
• DIY Tip: Test your heater, defroster, and fan speeds to ensure they are working effectively. A poorly performing defroster could indicate a problem with the cooling system.
• Cabin Air Filter: Help optimize the performance and longevity of your climate system with a visit to Jiffy Lube® for a cabin air filter replacement. Replace your cabin air filter if it's dirty. A clogged filter can restrict airflow and strain your HVAC system, leading to inefficient heating and defrosting.
Taking the time for these essential fall services will give you peace of mind and help your vehicle transition smoothly into the colder months.
