After a hectic couple of weeks my hubby and I needed to make time to get the oil changed in our SUV. The light actually came on last week alerting us to the need for an oil change. Before we headed to the garage for the oil change, I pulled out my Motor Oil Matters checklist to make sure that we had everything in order.
I really love the MOM’s Oil Change Checklist as it educates me to the things that I need to know about keeping our SUV in tip top shape!
Motor Oil Matters or MOM, is the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) new Consumer education and industy watchdog program that was established to stress the benefits of quality licensed motor oils.
If you are like me and not very knowledgable when it comes to car-related issues, Motor Oil Matters was formed to help understand what important things to look for at your next oil change. In fact, MOM has put together a checklist of important things to look for during your next oil change. One key thing is to make sure that your service provider is using a quaility motor oil in your vehicle. Some service providers may be quick to use inexpensive motor oil in your vehicle which, in the long run of things, may actually cost you more money for vehicle maintenance fees.
While we were having the oil changed in our SUV, we also told them to go ahead and rotate the tires for us. I just love getting into a car that has a fresh oil change and roated tires! I know that this may sound silly but it seems like a new car all over again!
Be sure to chceck out the MOM’s checklist the next time that you need the oil changed in your vehicle. It really does make a difference and you will be prepared!
