#9 of 12 Hints to Improve Fuel Economy

Change your cars oil and oil filter

#9 Higher Viscosity, Lower Friction

We have discussed friction and air and tyre resistance earlier. Generally the less friction the better. Even though it is unlikely there will be significant improvements in fuel economy, changing the car’s oil and oil filter will assist to keep the engine well lubricated and minimise internal engine friction, resistance and the need for a costly car repair bill.

Refer to your car’s owner manual for details of the type of oil recommended for your car and the frequency for flushing and replacement. Most manufacturers recommend the oil and oil filter being replaced every service or every second service.
