The Connection Between Service and Fuel Efficiency
When you regularly get your car serviced, your ensuring that it continues to operate at peak performance levels. Skipping routine maintenance services and ignoring automotive issues can cause all types of problems, including a drop in fuel efficiency. The following parts can all affect your efficiency:
- Engine: Your engine can begin to run inefficiently if you put off an oil change for too long. That old oil becomes a bit more like a sludge and can no longer lubricate the parts that keep your engine running smoothly. This means your engine has to work harder, and that leads to wasted gasoline.
- O2 Sensor: A faulty oxygen sensor can result in more fuel consumption. If you're making regular trips to visit our mechanics, we can spot this issue early and prevent too much fuel waste.
- Spark plugs: If your spark plugs are past their prime, that could contribute to lower fuel economy numbers. We can replace these important Toyota parts for you and get your car back into shape.
- Tires: If your tires aren't properly inflated, you could end up wasting gasoline. Our mechanics can fix any tire and wheel issues, and we'll make sure that they're inflated to the proper psi before you hit the road.
