So by changing the oil, you’re protecting the most important parts of the engine. If oil gets too low or is no longer fresh, it can lead to sticking piston rings, overheating, or even decreased engine life. Oil is like food for the components inside the engine and makes it possible for them to do their jobs. Think about it this way: if you’re feeling really hungry, your ability to do work starts to suffer, right? Your engine is that way too. The oil reduces friction, transfers heat, and absorbs the byproducts of combustion to prevent the engine from overheating. Your motor oil is one of the most important elements inside your vehicle, because it lubricates all the moving pieces in the engine and keeps it running properly. Get an Estimate for Your Vehicle Service DO OIL CHANGES PROTECT YOUR ENGINE? Contact your local Jiffy Lube ® for pricing based on your vehicle and the type of oil that’s right for you. If recommended by your technician, it’s okay to use a different brand than you’ve used in the past, as long as the oil meets the viscosity grade and specifications listed in your owner manual. Some drivers prefer conventional oil, while others select full synthetic oil, synthetic blend, or high mileage oils. To determine the type of oil that’s best, your technician will consult the manufacturer’s recommendations and ask you for your personal preference. HOW MUCH IS AN OIL CHANGE? Now on to everyone’s favorite question: how much does an oil change cost, exactly? The price of your oil change will depend on a few factors, including the amount of oil required, the type of oil that is used, and the ease of performing the oil change. Maintaining your vehicle’s oil is easier than you might think, and Jiffy Lube ® is here with the answers to your biggest questions. Because if the engine isn’t running properly, nothing else matters. And that all starts with routine oil changes and the right engine oil. (Wireless phone charging, anyone?) But your vehicle is still a complex machine that needs to be actively maintained. Or maybe I will go to Jiffy Lube and take the truck to Discount Tire for the tire rotation.Today’s vehicles deliver more performance than ever, as each year’s models bring new features for safety and convenience.

The air filter is border line so I went ahead and replaced it myself for $20.00. Checked the oil filter after I pulled over at NAPA and I find two oil can caps laying on the radiator shroud.

In the meantime the service writer comes over and tells me "the only thing the tech noticed was I need a new air filter for $30.00" (Maybe I am wrong - they are Jiffy Lube) I told him "I am not sure the tech knows how to read an air filter - he can't read the plain English you wrote on the work order. So back up on the lift for another 20 minute drain. "HEY WTF 'R U DOING? Did you not read the work order?" "Sorry sir, I'll take care of it." After 45 minutes we are passing by the bay where my truck is and I see the tech has the oil hose pulled down from the ceiling and he is just pumping away. I have my dog with me, so we are walking laps around the building to kill time. There are four bays, for some reason I get pulled in number 5 at 9:30 am.

Before anyone tells me to just do it myself, I can't, because of the home owner association where I live does not allow vehicle maintenance being done, especially oil changes. An early use of the term in this sense is in George Colman's one-act farce Blue Devils (1798). The term 'Blues' may have originated from "blue devils", meaning melancholy and sadness. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock developed, which blended blues styles with rock music. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience, especially white listeners. Blues subgenres include country blues, Delta blues and Piedmont blues, as well as urban blues styles such as Chicago blues and West Coast blues. Blues has since evolved from unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves into a wide variety of styles and subgenres. The first publication of blues sheet music was in 1908. Chroniclers began to report about blues music at the dawn of the 20th century. It is associated with the newly acquired freedom of the former slaves. The first appearance of the blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery. The origins of the blues are also closely related to the religious music of the Afro-American community, the spirituals. Many elements, such as the call-and-response format and the use of blue notes, can be traced back to the music of Africa. Early blues frequently took the form of a loose narrative, often relating the racial discrimination and other challenges experienced by African-Americans. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current structure became standard: the AAB pattern, consisting of a line sung over the four first bars, its repetition over the next four, and then a longer concluding line over the last bars. Early traditional blues verses consisted of a single line repeated four times. "The Blues" is also characterized by its lyrics, bass lines, and instrumentation. The Muslim slaves added their own flair to their field holler songs, with African diaspora historian Sylviane Douf describing the way they sang "words that seem to quiver and shake" as very reminiscent of the Adh an, or Islamic call to prayer. Blues music is heavily influenced by "field holler" songs, sung by the slaves as they worked in the fields. An estimated 30% of African slaves brought to America were Muslim. One of the first wholly American styles of music to gain traction and recognition across the world was blues music, developed in the American South by African slaves, many of whom were Muslim. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect known as the groove. Blue notes (or "worried notes"), usually thirds, fifths or sevenths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. The blues form is ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, and is characterized by the call-and-response pattern, the blues scale, and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads from the African-American culture. Blues is a music genre and musical form that originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s. However, I have never heard any more about that.

Additional filming took place in Scotland, the Downtown Atlanta area, and New York City. The production lasted until July 2017, shooting back-to-back with a direct sequel, Avengers: Endgame (2019). Filming began in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, with a large cast consisting mostly of actors reprising their roles from previous MCU films, including Brolin as Thanos. In 2016, Marvel shortened the title to Avengers: Infinity War. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015, and a month later Markus and McFeely signed on to write the script for the film, which draws inspiration from Jim Starlin's 1991 comic book The Infinity Gauntlet and Jonathan Hickman's 2013 comic book Infinity. The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1. In the film, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy attempt to stop Thanos from collecting the six powerful Infinity Stones as part of his quest to kill half of all life in the universe. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the film features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldaña, Josh Brolin, and Chris Pratt. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the sequel to The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and the 19th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
