Change your Air Filter

Nov

Your car’s engine is basically an air pump. The more efficiently it can suck air in and expel spent gases out, the better it will perform. The first step to keep this cycle going properly is to change your air filter. As the name suggests, it filters out harmful particles before they enter your engine. You should check your air filter with every other oil change, and replace it if it appears to be dirty. You should replace the air filter every 15,000 miles or so, as they are generally inexpensive.
