Jiffy Lube Now Recommends Changing Oil Every Day

[dwasson]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (DPI) - Local Jiffy Lube franchisee Bob Saunders is proud of his company's ability to soak its customers for excessive and unnecessary oil changes. "Because of improvements in both engine design and motor oil quality, virtually every automobile's owner's manual these days recommends changing your oil only every 7,500 miles. In spite of this, we've managed to convince drivers to change their oil at least every 5,000 miles, or every 3,000 if their car is older than the milk in their refrigerator," said Saunders, smiling at the queue of cars wrapped around his garage like a boa constrictor around its prey. "So we figured that if people would fall for that, they'd gobble up daily oil changes hook, line, and sinker." Saunders also announced that Jiffy Lube's new "Weekly Radiator Flush" ad campaign would begin later this month.

Yeah...Right.

Don't forget to change the air filter at every oil change too.

And wipers... but the trans fluid looks okay... this time.

There is a Jiffy Lube in the town where we live. Their greatest fan is the owner of the independent garage across the street. Seems he has the contract to replace all of the stripped drain plugs from JL.

The best story was of a fool who took his VINTAGE ALFA ROMEO in for an oil change. They forgot to put the plug back in and gave him a car that had an empty crankcase with an open drain. The fool didn't look at the oil pressure gauge when he left. He got about 1/2 block when the engine seized. JL tried to blame him. Cost them over $4000 to have the engine rebuilt.

Now that is a good one.:beer:
