Staying Safe On The Road With Quaker State #CambialoConQS

I spend about 50% of my day in my car. So, I have to love it, cherish it and take care of it.

My morning schedule is always so hectic, as it involves getting kids ready for school and dropping them all off at school and activities. And even though it is often times chaotic, I try to use it as an opportunity to visit with my kids and enjoy conversation to kick off the day.

As a Latino, family is so important and any chance we can get to spend time with our family members, we cherish them. That’s why using time wisely is so important to me.

I rely on my car for work and for driving the kids around to all their activities so it is important to have my car in tip top shape. And with any well-oiled machine…well, you need good oil.

Quaker State Oil® is my oil of choice and it is on rollback at Walmart for $19.77!

What I love about Quaker State® Ultimate Durability™ Full Synthetic motor oil is that even after hundreds of thousands of miles of severe real-world driving it still performs. It gives you more durability with the help of a fuel-saving additive that keeps the oil fresh and more engine life – as your engine temperature increases, heat-activated viscosity improvers and anti-wear additives kick in to maintain oil thickness to help extend your engine life. And even more important for the climate I love it, it offers more performance through superior lubrication flow and pumpability in below-freezing temperatures.

When we can get the oil changed in no time flat, it gets us back on the road and I feel confident that it will be that well oiled machine it needs to be!

If you have a car, the you definitely know that maintenance is very important and it is necessary to make sure that you are safe. I know that I am important and so is that precious cargo I carry along with me every day!

    Car maintenance is so important. I’ve made sure to get our cars properly maintained especially after we had one of our SUVs practically die on us. We were able to prove that we took care of our truck, having thorough maintenance done before a road trip, and our warranty saved us because of it! 🙂 Zero cost to us.

    I don’t know anything about oil I just get it changed when it’s time. But it’s really important to maintain it for sure. Nice to know that you can pick it up at Walmart for much less than getting a conventional oil change from a shop.
