Yes! Even though your car has a pre-determined, estimated economy rating, several things can impact fuel consumption. One of the most significant things is staying on top of your routine maintenance and oil changes.
But how does an oil change help me get more miles per gallon?
When your car’s oil is changed, the dirty old gets removed, taking all the dirt, dust, and debris buildup with it. The foreign particles in the engine create friction which makes the motor run less efficiently and uses more gas to run.
New, clean oil running through the engine keeps it lubricated and cool and reduces unnecessary friction. When these three things happen, the engine doesn’t have to work as hard and uses less gas to run.
