Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Troy Vehicle
April 3, 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 Troy 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 Troy gas pump rolling higher and higher.
