January is gone....

Hey,

I just wanted to post a quick note on our blog page. As you can tell from our count down clock, the next Auto Care Saturday is less than a month away. This is our annual spring auto care. Now for most of you, this is a regular auto care. You send an e-mail to us or call the church and request your time. But from some of us, this is the time we place and receive our synthetic oil order. If you are part of this program, look for an e-mail from us in the next two weeks. If you do not receive and e-mail from us, then we do not have record of you being part of the program.

Synthetic Oil you ask. What is it and should I have it?

What is it...Synthetic oil is a man made oil that is engineered to last longer and lubricate the moving parts of your engine better than organic oil. Most of the newer cars (2000 and up) use this oil. Because synthetic oil lasts longer it doesn't have to be changed as often. Because it does a better job lubricating the engine, it helps the engine last longer and often improves your gas mileage.

Should I have it?

Yes and no. If you have an older car and you currently do not have engine issues, then I would not change to the synthetic oil. Just keep bring your car in for our quarterly oil changes. If you have a newer car (2000 - 2009), then I would consider making the change for the reasons listed above.

How will that impact my attending Auto Care Saturday?

First, if you want synthetic oil in your car, then you will need to pay for the oil and filter up front. Last year the average cost was 65 dollars. That includes your oil and filter for the entire year.

Second, you will only need to come to Auto Care Saturday twice a year. The Spring and Fall Auto Care Saturday's

What if I decide not to do synthetic?

Continue to come 4 times a year. You will be asked to make a donation but none is required.

If you have more questions about synthetic or organic oil, please e-mail the Auto Care Saturday Guys, we will get back to you. Those of you already signed up for our synthetic program. Look for an e-mail from us asking if you are interested in participating this year and what your cost will be. We are asking for payment at time of order this year.

Hope to hear from all of you soon,

The Auto Care Saturday Guys
