The right Mazda car parts can go a long way towards improving ride comfort, maintaining vehicle value, and boosting your fuel economy on every ride. That’s why our team here at Heritage Mazda Towson is sharing all you need to know about car parts and accessories that can boost your fuel economy today.
Filters
Your vehicle relies on a series of filters to run, including the oil filter, air filter, and even the cabin filter. Those filters help to capture dirt and debris that might damage your engine or get into the cabin of the vehicle, and eventually become clogged over time.
This causes a delay in the movement of essential engine parts and a disruption of the internal combustion process, which is why replacing the filters on your car can make such a big difference to fuel economy.
Spark Plugs
The internal combustion process in gasoline-powered vehicles relies on the perfect mixture of gasoline and oxygen, as well as well-timed sparks. That’s where the spark plugs come in, as they serve to provide the ignition that kicks off the process and allows your vehicle to run.
When the spark plugs are out of alignment, however, or misfiring, it can cause a lot of fuel to go to waste. Misfiring spark plugs can be responsible for over 30% of fuel economy loss, so they should be inspected regularly and repaired or replaced as needed.
Tires
Routine tire service is essential to the safety and responsiveness of your Mazda vehicle, but that’s not all. Poorly inflated tires or tires with damage can actually drag along the surface of the road and cause a loss of fuel economy. By properly inflating your vehicle’s tires, you can boost fuel economy by more than 3%.
Here at Heritage Mazda Towson, we provide all the tools and information you need to care for your vehicle from the day you first take it home. Learn more about boosting fuel economy with the support of our team today.
