Construction zones
You shouldn’t need a reminder to drive slowly in construction zones. Not only are people’s lives at risk, but so is your vehicle. All it takes is a nasty bump to throw off the alignment or cause other damage that means hefty repair bills.
Cruise control
Never use cruise control if conditions are snowy, icy, or wet, because if you hydroplane, your car will try to accelerate and you may lose control of your vehicle. Learn more
Grade of oil
Use the proper grade of oil. Modern engines often require very lightweight oil such as 0w20 or 0w30. Heavier oils like 10W30 or 10w40 oils don’t lubricate as well or flow as quickly, increasing fuel consumption. Always use the oil recommended in your owner’s manual. Jiffy Lube can help. Learn more
Loose objects
Loose objects in your vehicle can cause damage or injuries if you sustain an accident. These flying objects are sometimes the only cause of injury if you must brake suddenly. If you don’t have a separate trunk, install a barrier to keep objects from flying forward. Ex. Groceries, golf clubs, etc. Learn more
