Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Lake In The Hills Vehicle

August 7, 2016



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 Lake In The 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 Lake In The Hills gas pump rolling higher and higher.

So keep it clean at Tuffy Lake In The Hills  and give yourself a fighting chance.
