Bob Ciasulli:Tips for Maintaining Your Car ‘s Oil and Air Filters

I’m Bob Ciasulli and I own several car dealerships in northern New Jersey. I know how significant owning and maintaining a car can be for most people. It is only natural that you will want to protect your investment and extent the life of your car by following proper maintenance guidelines for your oil and air filters.

The economy is rough this year, and you can definitely save money by changing oil and air filters, regardless or whether you do the work yourself or you take it to the dealer or a mechanic. Either way, make sure to replace your oil filter every 3-5,000 miles and your air filter every 15,000 miles or whenever it looks dirty.

Dirty filters affect your car’s performance, particularly your gas mileage. Oil filters are a little harder to work with than air filters because you have to replace the oil too. It is very difficult to find places that receive your dirty oil, and this job can be very dirty and difficult in a newer model car, so my advice is to take the car into the shop and let the mechanic change your oil for you. He will even give you a little sticker on your windshield to remind you when to change it again.

Since each air filter costs between $10 and $20 and takes around 10 to 15 minutes to replace, it is a chore you can easily do yourself to save money.

If you are going to do the air filter replacement yourself, consult your car manual and purchase the correct filter for your vehicle. Also notice the location in your manual for the part, and follow any instructions given there. Make sure that you save all the screws and clips securing the filter in a safe place so they are not lost. Notice how the filter rests in your engine before you take it out and discard it, so that you can put the replacement filter in the same position.

These simple procedures will save you hundreds of dollars a year, and greatly prolong the life of your car. In addition, they will save you money on gas.
