Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Fort Wayne Vehicle

September 8, 2022



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 Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne gas pump rolling higher and higher.
