As the miles tick on your odometer, you may realize that your vehicle just isn’t getting the same gas mileage that it once achieved. A lot of drivers don’t realize that regular Volkswagen service can help you maintain that same gas mileage.
In this day and age, you can’t afford to not get the best gas mileage possible. Having said that, make you sure you know everything Heritage Volkswagen Catonsville can do to help your vehicle get the most miles for the journey ahead!
Anytime a basic function of your vehicle is running sub optimally, there’s a high chance that it is spelling disaster for your gas mileage. First and foremost, your tires play a major factor in your gas mileage. If your tires are misaligned, they are going to strain extra hard while in use. Wheel alignments are a relatively inexpensive service and it also doesn’t take much time.
Another major piece of regular service you need to do is an oil change. Oil changes help to ensure that your engine is running up to snuff with clean, efficient oil. When oil ages, it gets dirtier and grimier which starts to fill your engine with gunk that makes it run inefficiently. When your oil change sticker in the top left of your windshield tells you it's time to go get an oil change, don’t hesitate.
Finally, over time, several parts of your vehicle will wear out and need to be replaced. A lot of your exhaust parts can wear away over the years such as your muffler and pipes on your muffler. A warning sign that this is happening is loud noises while out driving. You guessed it; this can also affect mileage.
For any and all of these service issues, make sure you visit Heritage Volkswagen Catonsville to have them addressed.
