Save money on gas by changing the oil and filter.

Everyone can save money on gas by being sure the oil and oil filter for their car is clean. Dirty oil could cause some engines to run hotter, which would cause a car to use more gas. Some think this does not matter when the cost of changing the oil and buying a new filter is considered. However, experts will say doing these things will equal a savings on fuel.
