how does engine oil effect fuel economy
TRANSCRIPT
Oil is continually monitored by experts both for its efficiency and the impact that it has
on fuel economy.
Since the global economy was a little turbulent in the past few years, having the
opportunity to lower the fuel costs was, and still is a necessity for any driver.
Monitoring the engine oil performance of your vehicle is a crucial thing to do to
improve your fuel economy.
The question is, does engine oil truly have the ability to help us save fuel? As you might
expect, the real answer is a little unclear, because while engine oil can help with fuel efficiency, does it really help that much?
However, changing your engine oil with one that is more efficient might be a good
investment nonetheless.
It’s very simple, if the viscosity of the engine oil is thicker, the engine has to work harder and this
means that it will consume more fuel.
So the oil viscosity is indeed one of the most important criteria that you have to take into
account, as you have to focus on using a thinner oil in order to improve the overall
fuel economy or your vehicle.
Keep in mind, however, that a thicker oil with a higher viscosity level manages to
protect the engine and helps it run properly, because it maintains all its inner components
running at a maximum velocity.
Most of the time this type of oil can be recognized based on the numbers on the bottle, but what makes it great is the fact that it goes
very fast through the engine, without having too much drain on the fuel system in the end.
Based on numerous studies, this is the best type of oil to provide
an opportunity for drivers to save on
fuel!
If you want to maintain a great fuel economy and save lots of money on fuel, then you do
need to use a lower viscosity oil.
