Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Kentwood Vehicle

February 10, 2019



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 Kentwood 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 Kentwood gas pump rolling higher and higher.

So keep it clean at Tuffy Kentwood (Kalamazoo Ave SE)  and give yourself a fighting chance.
