Since we started following Dave Ramsey a year and a half ago, I can’t wait to pay off our two cars and I intend to drive them until I can’t drive them anymore!  Jiffy Lube has that same goal and has started a new fan page called “Keeping My Ride Alive” on Facebook to help inspire people to maintain their cars so that they can last longer.  I was inspired by the story of this guy who has had his Jeep Cherokee for over 17 years and it has over 400,000 miles on it!!  On the Facebook page, there is a lady who has a Nissan Maxima that has 336,371 miles on it!

According to a recent survey conducted by Jiffy Lube International, more than half of U.S. drivers hope to have more than 150,000 miles on their vehicle before replacing it with a new one, and more than a quarter are hoping to clock 250,000 miles or more. While 99% of drivers agree getting their oil changed regularly will help prolong its life, most are looking for additional services during their oil change visits to help keep their ride alive. Many Americans believe in the importance of having vehicle parts and fluids checked as well as having the option to have multiple services performed in a timely manner on a single visit is important.  At Jiffy Lube, you get more than just an oil change!  Their Signature Service Oil Change includes changing, inspecting, checking/filling, and cleaning key vehicle parts and fluids and offers drivers a quick and convenient way to maintain their vehicles.

Jiffy Lube is so committed to getting the word out about how they can help you keep your ride alive that they sent me two $35 gift cards to give away to my readers!

Need an oil change?? I am giving away a $35 gift card for Jiffy Lube (thanks to MyBlogSpark, MotorOilMatters.org, and Shell Lubricants!). Sign up for the $5 coupon here and the gift card combined with the coupon should pretty much cover the cost of a Signature Service Oil Change at Jiffy Lube.

*Clean exterior windows
*Vacuum interior floors
*Check tire pressure
*Check and top off the following fluids:
-transmission/transaxle fluid

The giveaway starts today and will end at 11:59 pm CT on Sunday, November 15th. I will announce the winner on Monday, November 16th. The winner will be chosen randomly using random.org. There are four ways that you can enter to win (see details below)

You will have 24 hours to provide me with your contact information (when you post to enter, you must leave your e-mail address or some other way for me to contact you!). Here’s how you can enter to win:

1. Visit MotorOilMatters.org and take the interactive quiz and share your score (mine was 85.71%) or share something interesting that you learned from the site (Here’s what I learned: Off-brand, no-name or discount oils that do not meet industry standards or the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements could cost consumers in the long run by potentially damaging the vehicle’s engine or possibly voiding the manufacturer’s warrant)

2. Sign up to follow my blog on Facebook (the link is on the right sidebar or you can click here). If you do this, you will still need to create a comment letting me know that you are now following on Facebook!

3. Subscribe to my blog (if you already subscribe, please post a comment to let me know that you have subscribed…your subscription needs to be “active” in order to win).
