Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Farmington Hills Vehicle

November 12, 2020



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 Farmington Hills 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 Farmington Hills gas pump rolling higher and higher.

The transmission also needs the proper amount of clean fluid to do its work. When it's in need of service, the transmission drags your fuel economy down.

So keep it clean at Hal's Auto Clinic Farmington Hills  and give yourself a fighting chance.
