Fuel Saving Tip: Dirty Oil in Your Lake Orion Vehicle
March 27, 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 Orion 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 Orion gas pump rolling higher and higher.

So keep it clean at Tire Warehouse Depot and give yourself a fighting chance.
