Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Lewis Center Vehicle

October 21, 2018



If you're a quart low in your vehicle, there isn't enough motor oil to lubricate your engine properly. The extra friction causes drag that reduces fuel economy while you're driving around the Lewis Center area.

The same goes for dirty oil; it doesn't reduce friction properly. The result is you get to watch those numbers at your local Lewis Center gas pump rolling higher and higher.

So keep it clean at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Lewis Center  and give yourself a fighting chance.
