So I have a confession...I hate anything related with auto work. Yep, I avoid getting oil changes until the very last mile and really hate putting air in my tires, especially in this cold weather. To be honest, I'd be very happy if I never had to put gas in my car again...ever. ; ) This #DropShopAndOil was the perfect experience for me to give this oil changing thing another try through #CollectiveBias. When I had the chance to try out Walmart for an oil change, I was pretty excited. Finally, I could go somewhere to get an oil change that doesn't involve sitting in a stinky waiting room.
Walmart is adding Department Managers to Automotive Care Centers around the nation to provide some extra TLC to your experience, as well as your car! I dropped off my your car in the Automotive Care Center, and then did a little of my favorite...shopping.
While I had a bit of a wait, it really wasn't bad because I was able to do some shopping while I was there. The one thing I would prefer is that they took appointments, but I was told it was first come first serve and if you miss your appointment you would be put back in line. Luckily, I didn't miss my appointment. I was told I would have an hour and a half wait, but ended up getting in sooner. I waited about an hour and then the oil changing process took about 30 minutes.
I got my oil changed with Pennzoil {oil that helps clean out sludge lesser oils leave behind} at Walmart and picked up my groceries for the week.
I used Pennzoil to get my oil changed. All Pennzoil products help clean out sludge lesser oils leave behind. I used their platinum (synthetic motor oil) . This is the best cleanliness and protection in the Pennzoil line-up. With PurePlus™ Technology, the Platinum® motor oil is proven to keep pistons up to 40% cleaner than the toughest industry standard. PurePlus™ Technology is a revolutionary process that converts natural gas into a 99.5% pure base oil.
Pennzoil is designed for complete protection and will allow you to drive an extra of 550 miles per year vs. a dirty engine. No other motor oil provides better protection from friction. Pennzoil also offers a free warranty that covers 15 engine parts that may fail due to engine wear or which experience abnormal wear due to friction. (For more information, check out the Pennzoil Warranty Site.)

It's so important to take car of our cars...especially in the middle of winter. I also love the idea of getting my oil changed at Walmart so that I can do some errands at the same time instead of just sitting in a waiting room! #client
