It is a fact that men are mostly the residents of the roads. Compared to women, we really outnumber them when we talk about the roads. However, though a bit intriguing, they say women are much more knowledgeable than us when it comes to knowledge about basic car care. So when a woman seeks for advice from a man about car care, she’s probably not in good hands.

Though the national survey, which was sponsored by Jiffy Lube, it was found out that 69 percent of men and 64 percent of women agree that men know more about car care. Their responses speak otherwise.

When respondents were asked where the proper tire-inflation information of the vehicle is located, 67 percent of men and 45 percent of women said that it is in the sidewalls of the tires. However, Mark Ferner, the technical expert of Jiffy Lube, said that it was wrong. He stated that this information could be either seen in the vehicle’s door jamb or in the owner’s manual. In that question alone, 22 percent of women while only 16 percent of men have the right knowledge with regards to that information.

Moreover, 67 percent of men and 46 percent of women were wrong when they say that the act of simply switching from conventional engine oil to a synthetic one extends the oil-change interval. As to this question, it is obvious that more women know the fact about oil-change interval than men.
