Gods of car care… I get the hint.

04733 MOM logo2 right1 Gods of car care... I get the hint.For as much as I love cars, I’m shamefully bad about getting my oil changed on a regular basis. About 2,000 miles past due for my oil change, I recently glanced at that auto shop reminder sticker with guilt–I know I need to do it. I know it can’t be good for the car. But I procrastinate, figuring I’ll get to it soon.

Like a beacon in my mail box, the nice folks at MyBlogSpark invited me to visit www.motoroilmatters.com, sponsored by Shell Lubricants, and learn more about why frequent oil changes are so important. In return, Penzoil through MyBlogSpark offered FatHeadDog a gift certificate to have my oil changed and report on the experience.

Ok!  Gods of car care.. I’ll learn more about the importance of good oil and take my car in for heaven’s sake. I take the hint! Like they asked, I visited Motor Oil Matters, where I learned what the various oil weights, like 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40, mean. And what does the ‘W’ mean? According to the site, not weight, but winter. (Really!?)  See, I did learn something.. how’s that for fun cocktail party trivia?

All You Health Fitness Coupons 230x300 Another place to find coupons: MagazinesIt always seems FatHeadDog finds a great coupon at the most inoppertune time. A blinky machine at the grocery store while FatHeadPup is having a meltdown. A lonely coupon skipping in the wind across a grocery store parking lot. Or a clip-worthy coupon in my cache of magazines, inevitably found late at night and without scissors in sight. I’ve gotten quite a few grumpy glances from my husband as I try tearing a coupon by hand. Rip it slow and quietly, or fast and loudly, either way is intrusive to his beloved sleep.

While perusing your monthly magazines, grab a pair of scissors and keep an eye out for valuable coupons within ad pages. One particular mag that’s worth your while… at least for the coupons, is the Wal-Mart exclusive All You Magazine.
