Whether you’re heading out of town for one last Summer shin-dig or just playing taxi to the kiddos, maintaining a vehicle is an important part of driving. One thing you can do to give your car’s engine a longer life is change the oil regularly. Trust me, I totally need to get this done and I know the importance of it but it’s often hard to remember when to get it done, let alone make the time and pay for it!
So to make sure you’re aware of what questions to ask at your next oil change, Motor Oil Matters (MOM) has provided this checklist. It’s great information to help make an educated choice when it comes to changing your vehicle’s motor oil.
- AAA expects between the major summer holidays of Memorial Day and Labor Day to aid over eight million motorists, and cautions drivers that auto maintenance is key to avoiding summertime travel breakdowns. Ensuring quality motor oil in your car is one way to prevent road trip problems.
- Motor Oil Matters, or MOM, a new consumer education and industry watchdog program by the American Petroleum Institute, has been established to stress the benefits of quality licensed motor oils and call on to the carpet those who engage in deceptive practices.
- Service-locators can be quick to offer discounted services to people who are looking to reduce their automotive maintenance costs. Make sure your service provider is pouring quality motor oil into your car before you decide on a cheaper deal.

When I was young and foolish, I would change the oil in my car myself. It was always hard to get rid of the used oil and it was quite messy. I now have my oil changed at a tire center several blocks away from where I work. I can drop it off in the morning and then pick it up in the afternoon. It works for me!
