Giveaway: Jiffy Lube $35 Gift Card to help with Keeping My Ride Alive

14 Comments

I was given the opportunity to run a $35 Gift Card Giveaway sponsored by Jiffy Lube and share with you tips from Jiffy Lube for Winter Driving. I have taken my car to Jiffy Lube many times over the past ten years of ownership. I’ve had really good experiences with Jiffy Lube and so I was happy to provide this giveaway to my readers. Below are some winter driving tips from Jiffy Lube.

Winter Driving Tips

  • Check Your Vitals: Knowing how to check for proper antifreeze and windshield washer fluid levels, battery power and tire pressure – among other key vehicle components – is a must to help conquer cold-weather driving.
  • Fill Up: Keeping your gas tank at least half full will help avoid gas line freeze-up. To conserve gas, run the heater just long enough to defrost.
  • Check Your Oil Grade: Using the recommended grade of oil for the winter months can help save money. Simply using your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended oil grade (found in your owner’s manual) can improve gas mileage by one-to-two percent.
  • Avoid Panic: If your vehicle breaks down or the weather makes it difficult to drive, you could find yourself stuck on the side of the road in freezing temperatures and in need of a vehicle emergency kit. Suggested items to have on hand include a first aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight, bottled water, extra blankets, gloves and hat, energy bars, duct tape, a can of Fix-a-Flat®, an ice scraper and a hand shovel.
