As a busy mom with two preschoolers, part time work as a blogger, and full time job as a wife, mom, and household COO (chief operations officer) it’s tough to get everything done sometimes. Between more loads of laundry than I care to count, housework that never seems to be finished, and a never-ending grocery list, I just can’t tell you how thankful I am that I can get our vehicle’s oil changed at Walmart while shopping for our household needs.
Since I’m a checklist kinda gal – and I love to create printables, I’ve created a fun free printable checklist of 10 things to keep your car running right – just for HappyandBlesedHome.com readers. Scroll down and look for the blue “Download Now” button to get your copy below.

Multitasking at its Finest
For me, getting our car’s oil changed at Walmart is mulitasking at its finest. I can take my kids with me and while we shop for groceries and household items; Walmart takes care of maintining our transporation. It’s extremely difficult – almost impossible – the keep the boys occupied in a car shop waiting room. To me, Walmart saves the day by offering auto maintenance services at their stores.
Multitasking Mom loves Oil Changes with Pennzoil
When my boys and I pulled up at Walmart I was having a bit of trouble with the shopping cart and one of the men working there helped us with our cart. Everyone was so friendly. I get our vehicle’s oil changed with Pennzoil – it helps clean out sludge, lesser oils leave behind. Walmart carries synthetic oil – perfect for some of the newer cars that no longer accept standard oil blends.
And here’s something I just learned, Walmart is adding Department Managers to Automotive Care Centers around the nation to provide some extra attention to your experience, as well as your vehicle.
With the crazy, busy season of Christmas and New Year’s behind me, it’s nice to take care of the things in my life that are in need of maintenance – like our car.
