Question about oil change and air filter?

Hi guys, i was at jiffy lube earlier, i asked for an oil change and they also changed my air filter... on the sheet it says Signature SVC Full Syn, im guessing it%26#039;s the new oil.. but a little below that it says PZL Synthetic 5w30 55 Gal...





My question is... both of them is correct right..?


Also... would the car go faster with this 70 dollar oil i requested? and how does changing the air filter works?|||when the air filter is clogged the car can not get the correct amount of air gas mix so it uses more fuel and no the car will not go faster|||a dirty air filter cuts down on fuel mileage,they gave you a full synthetic oil change and the oil they used was penzoil out of a 55 gal drum.you will never ever notice the difference between synthetic and regular oil neither will your car.|||sinthetic is good on a new car or truck on an old one it will not help. jiffylube is worst place to get an oil change or anything else.|||synthetic oil will not make the car faster it will however lubricate the internal engine parts better and for a longer period of time (like 7500miles instead of 3500). as far as the bill goes the price is about right for a full synthetic oil change. an air filter is usually checked when an oil change is done it costs about 3 to 10 dollars and if its dirty they will probably change it. my question to you is why didn%26#039;t you do any research about synthetic oil before you spent 70$. theres no use in felling ripped off when you didn%26#039;t know what to expect in the first place. anyway good luck hope this helped.|||oil change will not make the car go faster....and air filter works just like it says it filters the air going into the motor... a dirty one will and can slow the flow of air which will make the car use fuel and run slower...... and really you could have done that and should do it more offen or every time you do a oil change.....learn how to do it your self which is easy... will save you half of what your paying to have it done... and sorry it woul d be better to do it some where beside jiffy ... call a autozone and you will see what is really cost to do the job|||Having an engine that is clean inside and out runs the best. The newer synthetics are miraculous because they keep the inner workings of the engine cleanest and reduce friction and heat, which causes the best performance and fuel efficiency. When an air filter gets dirty, the vacuum created by the running engine is interfered with and causes a change in the fuel/air mixture ratio causing loss of efficiency. To put it differently, the engine cannot breathe the way it is designed to. A poorly tuned or inefficient burning causes premature wearing of catalytic converter and exhaust system. Good Luck!!!|||The oil companies claim the fully synthetic is better than regular oil. It%26#039;s doubtful that you%26#039;ll go any faster with the different oil, however it%26#039;s probably better for your engine to use the synthetic.





I%26#039;ve also heard that synthetic is better to use in the winter time, if you have cold winters where you live.|||Well the air filter lets the engine breath easier,and saves gas,it%26#039;s like you or i with a stuffed up nose,it%26#039;s harder for us to breath,will it be faster? Not noticeably but you may get more miles to the gallon,as far a the oil goes,i never EVER let anyone change mine,my brother is ASE certified his 1st job starting out as the being a wrench monkey was in a Jiffy Lube,a guy he worked with,didn%26#039;t change the oil filter,and put old oil in it,then one day the same guy,forgot to put the oil plug back on the pan,the car was knocking so bad until Bob my brother said shut it off,you dumb fuc,there ain%26#039;t no oil in it,well needless to say the guy was fired,he almost destroyed a customers engine,so way to many horror stories,it%26#039;ll be fine,but you should have a family member or someone you can trust to do it for now on.
