You just used "quality" and "Jiffy Lube" in the same sentence
What kind of oil do they use? No oil, because they usually don't even do what you pay for anyway
Honestly, I'm not even exaggerating. Talk to people who once worked for JL and had the wisdom to get the hell out. They can tell you plenty of horror stories...

Jiffy lube sux IMO. I took my TC there for the 3rd oil change, (needed it in a rush and couldn't wait for Toyota to do it) and as I roll up the grease monkey comes out and asks what oil I want to put in it. I told him 10w30 and he looks at me and says "you want to put REGULAR oil in THAT???" I asked him what he recommended and he said full synthetic and that was the only kind he would put in there. I told him I would go somewhere else if he didn't put in 10w30 and he told me he wouldn't be responsible for any warranty issues for using the wrong oil.

And chances are, he just dropped some 10w30... or 20w30... those guys don't really look.
Heck, its commonplace in Jiffy Lube to pump out your existing oil, run it through some machine, then pump it back into the engine.

I'm also pretty sure he tried to trick you solely because you are a female.

Change your oil regularly and you won't have any buildup problems.
