Went to valvoline instant oil change. They told me my air filter was dirty and the battery needed replacing. The air filter was fairly old so went ahead with replacing it. However, my battery has no problem cranking the engine over or powering my cell charger. The battery idiot light hasn’t even come on. If the battery really was in a “caution” state, it would be pretty obvious when you start the engine. If it starts with no problems, your battery is still good

I got this directly from the man who worked for Nissan as oil changer. He was told when he started to work there to drain the oil into a barrel and then use the gun to refill the crankcase with the same oil that he just took out. For synthetic oil the charge was approx $60.00 and the ‘old oil’ was better than the new one.
A friend of mine bought a new car at same location and one week later noticed that there was no oil in the crankcase. At the dealership she was told to have an oil change every month. The van had been running without oil for months, being used by a salesman for his own transportation.

Never take your car to a Jiffy Lube for a oil change or anything else!
The women ahead of me was having a belt put on her car. After an hour they told her they had tried 13 times but the new belt would not go on! I should of ran for the door?? They changed the oil and where suppose to fill up my radiator (Which I paid extra for.) When I got home I checked, no coolant had been added. Had to take it back. That was my first time at a Jiffy Lube ( I mean Gyp You Lube) and my last!
