My husband and I witnessed the most remarkable professionalism by two employees at Oil Can Henry’s in Lincoln City.\n\nWe were visitors from Canada and had no previous knowledge of the company prior to requesting the oil change service.\n\nWe were incredibly impressed with the customer service we received (not to mention the cleanliness of the garage).\n\nThe two employees promptly tended to our request, and ensured step-by-step procedures were followed — including wearing hard hats. What an impressive safety standard they displayed.\n\nWhen we commented on what a super job they did, they immediately responded back with, “Our manager taught us well. He wants us to do a good job.” You must be proud of your accomplishment in terms of what you taught them in both business and the respect of the customers.\n\nTheir attire — sophisticated hat, bow tie and white shirt — was a nice added touch, especially in a business of this nature. We still talk about it with our friends, with good memories.\n\nWe would appreciate it if you would ensure both employees are advised of the positive experience we had at Oil Can Henry’s and how it exceeded our expectations. Hats off to both of them for a job well done and we wish them both the very best in their future endeavors.\n\nSincerely,\n\nMarlene L.\nCalgary, Alberta\nCanada

December Anniversaries: Earning Trust and Thriving in Milwaukie
Known as the “Dogwood City of the West“, Milwaukie, Ore., was home to largest and
oldest dogwood tree in the United States until 1962.\n\nThat year, a massive Columbus Day windstorm ravaged the Pacific Northwest and caused significant damage to the tree, which had soared 65 feet high and spread 50 feet. When it was determined that the tree couldn’t be saved, community leaders chose to continue it’s legacy by bestowing “official city tree” status another dogwood in the area.\n\nThis dogwood tale is emblematic of Milwaukie and the community’s ability weather the recession. The city, a short seven miles south of Portland, has employed hard work and persistence to create a thriving business community that today includes household names such as Bob’s Red Mill, Dark Horse Comics, Dave’s Killer Bread, and Warn Industries.\n\nOil Can Henry’s-Milwaukie has proudly served this vibrant community for almost a quarter century (we opened our doors on December 14, 1999) and truly appreciate the loyal following of drivers who trust us to help their vehicles run better and last longer.\n\nOur Milwaukie center is one of 12 celebrating December anniversaries. Our congratulations also go to:\n

Have you noticed a decrease in gas mileage or engine performance?\n\nIf you answered “yes” to either of these questions, it may be time to replace your spark plugs.\n\nWorn or fouled spark plugs can cause a decrease in fuel economy and throttle response, an increase in emissions and, if they’re misfiring, trigger your Check Engine light.\n\nReplacing spark plugs at the correct intervals can help prevent these problems.\n\nClick here to watch a brief informational video and get a coupon to SAVE $10 through November 30, 2013.

Is Your Vehicle Winterized? Check These 9 Things to Be Sure
Winter is just around the corner, so it’s a good idea to take a little time now and make sure your vehicle is ready for the cold, and sometimes treacherous, driving conditions ahead.\n\n“You can save money and avoid dangerous winter breakdowns by properly maintaining your vehicle,” explains Don Weber, Vice President of Operations for Oil Can Henry’s. Specifically, Weber recommends checking your vehicle’s:\n
- \n
- Antifreeze. Over time, antifreeze breaks down and loses its ability to protect your engine against corrosion. If it has been diluted by water, it can lose its freeze and overheat protection. Check your vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and replace the antifreeze when it’s due. At the very least, have the freeze protection checked.
- Battery. It’s a good idea to carry jumper cables, but it makes sense to check the condition of your battery and replace it if needed. Also check the battery terminals and cables to ensure the connection is tight and remove any corrosion.
- Belts. Check your drive belts for cracks or fraying. Many of the newer multi-rib serpentine belts don’t show obvious signs of wear, so it’s best to replace them at the mileage recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Headlights. About 80% of driving decisions are based on visibility. So, make sure both headlights are operational and providing sufficient light. If a headlight is burned out, replace it. If your vehicle has acrylic headlight lenses that have become hazy or yellowed, have them cleared with a Headlight Restoration service to increase visibility and light output.
- Hoses. Check your cooling system hoses for cracks or leaks and for loose clamps.
- Oil. Use the proper oil for your vehicle and follow the oil change schedule recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. Using the incorrect cold weather viscosity can decrease gas mileage and cause excessive engine wear during startup.
- Tires. Check the condition and pressure of your tires. Improperly inflated tires are unsafe and can reduce fuel economy.
- Windshield Wash. If you live in a cold climate, make sure your windshield wash fluid doesn’t freeze by switching to a winterized fluid that provides freeze protection appropriate to your area.
- Wiper Blades. Wiper blades wear out, so consider replacing them every six months or as needed.

\nYou can do all of this yourself, or you can visit your local Oil Can Henry’s, relax in the comfort of your vehicle and enjoy a complimentary newspaper as our trained technicians take care of it for you.\n\nMost Oil Can Henry’s service centers provide a free battery test as part of your service. Need a new battery? We proudly sell and install quality Interstate Batteries.\n\nAs part of your oil change service, most Oil Can Henry’s service centers will also test the condition of your antifreeze to ensure it’s adequately protecting your engine. If it’s time for new antifreeze ask about our Cooling System Flush, which replaces 100% of the old antifreeze. A radiator drain and fill, in comparison, replaces just a fraction of the old fluid.\n\nSafe motoring this winter from your friends at Oil Can Henry’s!

July Anniversaries: Celebrating Five Years in Spokane
As you stroll Spokane’s wonderful Riverfront Park district, you can still see vestiges of the 1974 World’s Fair that helped transform the city’s downtown by attracting more than 5.2 million visitors and pumping about $150 million into the local economy.\n\nFast forward 34 years to 2008, when Spokane residents Bob and Barb Davisson opened the first Oil Can Henry’s center in the “Lilac City”. The Davisson’s thriving center may be seven miles from Riverfront Park but its location in front of the Wandermere Fred Meyer on Division Street has proven extremely popular.\n\nBob, Barb and their crew of friendly, trained technicians quickly won over local drivers and paved the way for three more Oil Can Henry’s centers in the area — 411 S. Thor Street, 5220 W. Lowell Avenue, and 124 W. Hanley Avenue in Coeur d’Alene. So, no matter where you find yourself in Spokane, there’s likely an Oil Can Henry’s nearby.\n\nOur congratulations to Bob, Barb and their crew on five great years in Spokane and to the other eight Oil Can Henry’s celebrating July anniversaries:\n
- \n
- Albany, OR – 10 years (July 21)
- Antioch, CA – 14 years (July 9)
- Bremerton, WA – 7 years (July 5)
- Graham, WA – 3 years (July 17)
- Keizer, OR – 24 years (July 5)
- McMinnville, OR – 16 years (July 12)
- Salem – Commercial St., OR – 17 years (July 2)
- Vancouver, WA – 5 years (July 19)
