With rising gas prices across the country, we want to make sure you're equipped with the know-how to ensure your vehicle needs to go to the pump as little as possible. One of the best ways to achieve this is with the proper maintenance, so here are three of the maintenance services that contribute to your vehicle's fuel economy the most.
Oil Changes
Oil changes are one of the most important services when it comes to keeping your ride in the best shape possible. The oil lubricates and cleans out your engine as it runs, but this causes it to eventually break down and collect a lot of grime. Flushing the old oil and putting in a fresh batch keeps your engine running smoothly and without unnecessary wear and tear on the streets of Watsonville. In turn, this prevents the engine from needing to work harder to provide the same amount of power, which would lower its fuel efficiency.
Tire Services
From tire pressure to tire rotations, there are a lot of services for your vehicle's tires, and they can all help you improve your mileage. Tires are built to provide even grip on the roads of Monterey so that you don't end up with one tire doing all the work or any tires actively working against the others. Regular tire rotations keep the wear, and thus the traction, even amongst the tires, and keeping tires at the right pressure ensures that each one will grip the road appropriately.
Wheel Alignment
Like tire service, the wheels themselves need to be kept in tip-top shape if Morgan Hill drivers want to get as much efficiency out of your car as you can. If you've ever had a grocery cart with a bad wheel, you know how obstructive a wheel that's out of alignment can be. While your vehicle's wheel will hopefully never get as bad as that grocery cart's, even small misalignments can result in a significant loss in fuel economy as you drive through Gilroy.
