With the excessive snow we’ve had this winter, and customers still requesting winter tires many have asked about the benefits of Nitrogen (N2) over “regular air” or Oxygen (O2) in tires.

 There are many articles regarding the pros and cons of N2 verses O2 in tires. The marketers of Nitrogen have suggested that some of the benefits include the improvement of your vehicles handling, fuel economy, prolonging tire life, and a cooler running tire temperature by providing a more “stable pressure” gas N2 verses O2.

 The air we breath is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% is a small mix of other gases.

With General Motors discontinuing the manufacturing of Saturn branded vehicles, Lakewood Chevrolet invites current Saturn owners to do business with us.

We have access to Saturn parts and technical information and now have the ability to honor warranty repairs to Saturn vehicles. Our technicians are very familiar with Saturn product as they share many of the components for our Chevrolet products.  We often carry Saturn vehicles in our used vehicle inventory and look forward to providing you with a fully recondition Saturn or giving you top dollar for your Saturn trade-in. 

Before you decide to “chip” or “reprogram” your vehicle for better performance or fuel economy, consider the implications to your vehicle warranty.  General Motors has recently introduced new warranty procedures designed to detect unathorized alterations to a vehicle.  They will terminate the warranty on the powertrain and related components if they discover these types of alterations.

For many years aftermarket or performance based companies have offered increased performance and/or fuel economy by electronically adjusting the engine parameters. They do this by adjusting the timing, fuel pressure, the amount of fuel injected, transmission shift points and other calibrations to the vehicle to get what they think the customer is looking for.
