How Does Routine Service Improve Fuel Economy?

What makes Lexus service such an essential part of ownership and car care? Here at Lexus of Pembroke Pines, our vehicles are designed to last, and there’s no better way to extend their life or improve their capability than with routine service and care. Lexus service can also help to boost your fuel economy on every ride.

Routine service helps to keep your vehicle safe and allows you to maintain your vehicle’s value, if you plan to sell in the future. It also improves fuel economy in many ways, including some of the following:

• Oil Change: The oil in your vehicle can make a big difference when it comes to fuel economy. That’s because oil lubricates parts and keeps the engine from overheating. It also captures dirt and debris from the road before it can cause damage. Over time, the oil becomes old and saturated with that dirt, which means it moves the parts more slowly and requires more fuel to go the same distance. An oil change can make a big difference when it comes to efficiency.
• Air Filter Change: The oil filter isn’t the only filter in your vehicle that should be changed regularly. Our Lexus models also have an air filter that serves a similar purpose in capturing dirt before it can enter the engine. But internal combustion engine vehicles rely on oxygen for combustion, and when the air filter becomes clogged, not enough air gets into the engine, slowing the combustion process. Change your air filter regularly to promote fuel economy.
• Tire Service: Lexus vehicles can benefit from routine tire service in many ways. When the tires on your new Lexus become low or underinflated, they cause drag on the road, requiring more fuel to go the same distance. By inflating your tires properly, you can boost fuel economy by more than 3%.
