From Our Customers: Absolute Professionals
Oil Can Henry’s – Graham, WA.\n\nSkyler and Bobby were absolute professionals. They fully explained everything that was going on during the oil change in detail and listened to all of my questions.\n\nGoing to other vehicle service centers and having your car disappear into the garage has often left me questioning if the required work was actually completed.\n\nThank you so much. My family will be using your service for the foreseeable future.\n\n~ Micah G.\nGraham, WA
March Anniversaries: Not-So-Secret in Gresham
Gresham leaders may have a point when they say their city is “Oregon’s Best Kept Secret”. After all, most people don’t know Gresham has 1,635 fire hydrants; 116.74 miles of bike lanes; and 7,500 street lights. And, the majority of Americans are likely unaware that the city (the fourth largest in Oregon) was named after the American Civil War general, and Postmaster General, Walter Quinton Gresham\n\nThat said, there’s one thing that’s definitely not a secret in Gresham: the popularity of the local Oil Can Henry’s service center, which is owned and operated by Charlie Schwab.\n\nOne of Oil Can Henry’s first employees, Charlie has more than 30 years of vehicle maintenance and customer service experience under his belt. He understands the importance of providing quick, convenient and thorough service that people can trust, and has developed a fantastic team of friendly, hard-working technicians that know their way around a vehicle. Together, the Gresham crew has earned the loyalty of drivers throughout the Gresham area.\n\nCongratulations to Charlie and his Gresham team on 13 years of superior service. And kudos to the five other Oil Can Henry’s service centers also celebrating March anniversaries:\n
- \n
- Longmont – Pace Street, CO – 9 years (3/24/05)
- Portland – NW 26th Avenue, OR – 6 years (3/29/08)
- Salinas, CA – 24 years (3/17/90)
- West Linn – Willamette Drive, OR – 23 years (3/07/91)
- Yucaipa, CA – 10 years (3/19/04)

Soquel: Service, Service, Service
Trust your advisor at Oil Can Henry’s.\n\nI was presented with a report on my battery. It was a good battery but the advisor pointed out a concern about charging amps. I called AAA, which had installed the new battery 34 months ago. AAA came to my home and advised the battery will be replaced “under warranty”. Thanks to your staff for making me aware; it saved me from potential problems later and additional cost.\n\nThis is what keeps people coming back to Oil Can Henry’s. Service, Service, Service.\n\nMany thanks for job well done.\n\nBob H.\nSanta Cruz, CA
The Dangers of Driving with Low Oil Level
We’ve seen a surprising number of vehicles arriving at our centers with low, or no, engine oil.\n\nIt’s our mission to help drivers get the most out of their vehicles by ensuring those vehicles run better and last longer. So, this is a concern.\n\nIt’s important to monitor the oil level in your vehicle because driving with little or no oil can cause severe engine damage.\n\nMotor oil is the lifeblood of your engine. It:\n
- \n
- Reduces wear and friction by lubricating every moving part of your engine and removing deposits that can accelerate engine wear and reduce fuel efficiency and engine performance.
- Cools important engine parts your radiator coolant can’t reach.
- Helps maintain engine power and fuel economy by creating a seal around piston rings and cylinder walls.
- Protects the engine against rust and corrosion.

To help your vehicle run better and last longer, we recommend you:
\n
- \n
- Don’t wait too long between oil changes. Most vehicle manufacturers provide two oil change recommendations, one for “normal” driving and one for “severe”. An AAA study showed that “more than half of all motorists follow the wrong maintenance schedule.” Learn more and see if you’re “normal” or “severe”.
- Take advantage of our “Henry’s Top-Up Guarantee”, which provides complimentary top-ups of oil, fluids and tires within three months of your last Oil Can Henry’s oil change.
- Consider using a high mileage oil if your vehicle has more than 75,000 miles. Older engines burn oil faster; Castrol GTX High Mileage oil is specially formulated to help them burn less oil, leak less oil and use less oil.
- Check your oil level frequently, such as every time you gas up.

Lincoln City: Furthering International Relations with Superior Service
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

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!
