Jiffy Lube and Phillips 66 - Our Good Just Got Better.

As of June 1 of this year we at Lubricar/Jiffy Lube have changed our featured oils to Kendall products.  Keep in mind that Kendall is one of the brands owned by Phillips 66 and has been around since 1881. One of the reasons we went back to Phillips 66/Conoco/Kendall products that we used to feature several years ago is because of their product lineup.   In gasoline's and in motor oils we speak of “good, better, best” or in

other words, having a product lineup that offers choices in quality and pricing.  Most oil companies market a conventional oil with no synthetic properties, a synthetic blend which combines synthetic oil with conventional oil and then a full synthetic oil.  Full synthetic is typically going to be the best oil you can buy but also the priciest.  Conventional oils are always the least expensive.
