Jiffy Lube Serpentine Belt Replacement


The serpentine belt is the key that keeps your car running. The belt transfers the power from your engine to other vital components of your car, including the alternator, water pump, power steering pump and the air conditioner compressor. Over time, the serpentine belt becomes worn, cracked and can break and fall off while you are driving. If this happens, your car will only continue to work for a few minutes before it breaks down. Make sure to have your serpentine belt checked and replaced regularly to keep your car on the road, not on the side of the road.

Jiffy Lube A/C Evacuation and Recharge Service


The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor, where the cycle begins once again.

What does 10W30 Grade Motor Oil Mean?


You see those cryptic combinations of letters and numbers on motor oil bottles everywhere. What do they mean?

To decipher them, you have to understand viscosity. Viscosity measures how much the motor oil can resist flow. In other words, if you tip a motor oil bottle over, how fast it spills out indicates its viscosity. The more viscous, the slower it moves.

Tips on How to Properly Maintain Your Oil and Oil Filter


Did you know that keeping your oil clean is the most vital step you can take in order to keep your engine healthy? In addition to changing your oil and oil filter regularly, it is important to check your oil level with the dipstick every time you fill up with gas.

Summer Tips: Air Filter Tips


Did you know a dirty air filter can severely decrease the performance of your vehicle and lower your gas mileage? Just like you and me, your vehicle needs to breathe. However, the air quality outside is not always the greatest. Your vehicle filters the airflow to your engine through the engine air filter. Over time, the filter gets dirty and clogged. When this happens, your engine struggles to breathe, which decreases performance and lowers your vehicles fuel efficiency by up to 14 percent. See your owner’s manual for how often your air filter should be checked and replaced.

Man injured, cow killed in crash!





WAKARUSA, Ind. - Cow tipping may be one of those legends people like to talk about but that never really happens. But one cow definitely was tipped in the night (or should we say flipped)  and it is no laughing matter. 
Police say a car ran into a cow that had wandered onto a rural road in northern Indiana during the middle of the night, with the animal landing on the windshield and sheering back the car's roof.
.The Elkhart County Sheriff's Department says 47-year-old John Schertz of Elkhart was taken to a South Bend hospital with a head injury and cuts to the face.

Here's why you should let us change your oil!

Is Changing Your Own Oil Worth It?

by RYAN GUINA

Should you change your own oil?

I take my car in to get the oil changed. I know how to do it and I’ve done it before. I was also an aircraft mechanic in the USAF, so I know my way around tools, and I am not afraid to get dirty.

Do you prefer a big car or a little car?

So maybe with the price of gasoline these days this is a stupid question, but at Jiffy Lube we want to know--if the price of fuel were not an issue which would you choose, a small car or a big one?



The way we see it they both have advantages. There is something really cute about a Mini-Cooper or Smart Car. And a little Porche is hot, hot, hot! They are easy to park and great for darting in and out of traffic. And with todays safety features they can get surprisingly good safety ratings!

Is it time to service your car transmission?


Automatic transmission fluid lubricates, cools and cleans internal components of the transmission. It also helps to maintain the hydraulic pressure necessary for the transmission to function. The additives in the transmission fluid can be depleted over time. The automatic transmission filter helps remove dirt and contaminants from the automatic transmission fluid.

You should regularly flush the transmission fluid every 20 to 40 thousand miles. But be careful. If you haven't done it for a long time you should check with a qualified technician before hand. If you have neglected this service the transmission can develop scale deposits and flushing the fluid can introduce fresh new detergents that will cause this scale to break away and damage components and plates. That's one reason Jiffy Lube Indiana believes it is important to stay on schedule and have the service performed at the right time.

If it's time for your transmission service here is a coupon to help with the cost.

Remember, Texting and Driving is Against the Law in Indiana


Remember, Texting and Driving is Against the Law in Indiana

It has now been 8 months since the law banning texting while driving went into effect in Indiana. In case the threat of a police car’s lights in your rear view mirror is not enough to convince you, here are a few facts about why no one should text and drive. According to a study published in Car and Driver, June 2009, a driver’s reaction time while texting is 2 to 3 times longer than when they are DRUNK!  If you are going 35 mph that increased reaction time could put you over 160 feet further down the road. At 70 mph it would be close to 300 feet and that kind of distance at either speed could certainly cost people their lives. Both socially and legally, drunk driving is completely unacceptable. Texting, on the other hand, is still in its formative period. Hopefully in Indiana people are starting to change that view.  Just a friendly reminder from the folks here at Jiffy Lube. And to say thanks for reading, here is a full page of printable coupons for money off your next Jiffy Lube service. At Jiffy Lube we care!
