How a Hyundai Oil Change Improves Gas Mileage

Keeping up with routine maintenance helps your car stay in top shape, and one service you never want to skip is a Hyundai oil change. Oil has an important job to do in your vehicle and fresh oil can even help improve your gas mileage. So if you think that you’re due for an oil change, schedule your service appointment at Woodhouse Hyundai of Omaha and get ready to see how an oil change affects gas mileage.

Old Engine Oil Picks Up Dirt and Grime

Over time, the oil lubricating your engine picks up dirt, water, and other debris from the road. It starts to congeal and struggles to perform the critical task of lubricating some of your most delicate engine parts. This affects engine performance and could end up causing expensive damage.

Old Oil Causes Your Engine to Work Harder

Old oil isn’t doing its job like it’s supposed to. That means that your engine has to work harder and burns hotter. While our main concern is engine damage, this can also waste gasoline.

When your engine doesn’t run as efficiently as it possibly can, your fuel economy numbers can suffer. This wasted gasoline adds up over time, hitting you right in the wallet. Skipping an inexpensive oil change can really start to cost you.

You Might Need New Filters

When we change your oil, we might also find that we need to change your filter. The engine air filter and engine oil filter protect your engine from damage and help it run more efficiently. Driving around with old filters can cause you to waste more gasoline, so get your oil changed and replace these Hyundai parts when needed!
