Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Wyoming Vehicle

July 30, 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 Wyoming 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 Wyoming gas pump rolling higher and higher.

So keep it clean at Tuffy Wyoming  and give yourself a fighting chance.
