Doesn ’ t it seem like we ’ re always running out of one or the other , or worse yet , both of them at same time ! I started pumping gas at a service station part time while in High School and this was always a busy time of the year back in the shop . Everyone was getting ready for winter by changing to winter weight oil and putting their snow tires on . Some of you may remember you had to change your engine oil to a lighter weight during the winter months in those days so the engine would be able to crank over on the cold days . And if you had a manual transmission in your vehicle you might have had to change to a lighter grease in the transmission or you couldn ’ t move the shifter to change gears once the cold weather set in .
Of course once it was spring again you ’ d have to put summer weight oils back in again or they would be too light when it got hot out . Technology sure has brought us a long way hasn ’ t it ? Multi-weight oils and greases were one of the first big changes to make our life simpler . These multi weight lubes meant we weren ’ t changing oils except for maybe the coldest of months . Each year technology has improved our vehicle lubrication needs . What we used to use in the winter months now works all year round and our oil change intervals seem to decrease every year . That ’ s all fine and good , but how does that save me time and money ? With the advent of synthetic oils we now can stretch out oil change intervals even farther than ever dreamt of when I pumped my first gallon of 29.9 cent / gallon gas during high school ! Yes synthetic oils cost more , but using
AUTO & TIRE CENTER
synthetic oil means you can skip an oil change compared to using conventional oils by going from a 3,000 mile oil change interval to a
6,000 mile interval . Saving you both time and money . Consider using synthetic oil for your next oil change and skip an oil change ! If you are not sure it ’ s right for you , stop by at the shop and we ’ ll see what works best . Remember , our regular CENEX Autogold series of oil is already a synthetic blend giving you a step up on our competition . If you haven ’ t checked your anti-freeze strength or tire pressure since the weather has cooled down , stop by the shop and we will gladly check it for you at no charge .
