Every mile matters-especially when you rely on your Nissan to commute, travel, or handle errands across Oregon. A fuel economy service is a targeted maintenance procedure designed to improve your vehicle's fuel efficiency and overall engine performance. At Capitol Nissan in Salem, OR, our certified technicians use advanced cleaning and inspection methods to clear away deposits from critical components such as the throttle body, fuel injectors, and intake valves. This multi-step service not only enhances performance but also helps reduce emissions and extend the life of your engine. By ensuring your Nissan operates at peak efficiency, you'll enjoy smoother acceleration, cleaner combustion, and consistent mileage whether you're navigating Salem's downtown traffic or taking weekend trips through the Willamette Valley. The goal? To help your Nissan engine burn cleaner, run smoother, and deliver the mileage you expect. Whether you drive an Altima, Rogue, Frontier, or any other model in the Nissan lineup, this service helps you get the most out of every gallon.

Why Fuel Economy Service Matters for Every Vehicle

Even the most efficient vehicles can lose performance over time as dirt, carbon buildup, and worn components reduce combustion efficiency. When that happens, your Nissan may use more gas than usual, accelerate more slowly, or feel rough at idle. Left unchecked, the extra strain can increase emissions and shorten the life of key engine parts. A professional fuel economy service tackles these problems at the source. Our team uses specialized, Nissan-approved tools and cleaning solutions to remove buildup in the fuel system and restore the ideal fuel-to-air ratio. Unlike over-the-counter additives, this process reaches deep into your engine and fuel lines to clear away debris safely and effectively. If your vehicle has been struggling with reduced gas mileage or inconsistent power, this service can make a noticeable difference after just one visit.

How Often Should You Schedule This Service?

While every driver's habits differ, we generally recommend scheduling a fuel economy service every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. If you notice reduced mileage, sluggish performance, or a rough idle, it may be time to book your service sooner. Salem-area drivers who frequently encounter stop-and-go traffic, long idle times, or dusty rural routes often benefit from more frequent service intervals. Our advisors will review your vehicle's history and your driving conditions to create a personalized maintenance plan that keeps your Nissan performing its best all year long.
