Every Santa Rosa car owner who has taken their car in for an oil change has been told that their engine air filter’s dirty. Here’s what goes into the determination of when to change the filter: First, your minivan owner’s manual will have a recommendation of when to change the filter. Second, a visual inspection by your Cotati technician may determine that your filter it is visibly dirty and needs to be changed.
So between your minivan owner’s manual and your Cotati technician’s inspection there’s really no guesswork involved.
Now, most air filters purchased in Santa Rosa don’t cost a lot to replace. It’s just that CA people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Larsen Auto Care can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change.
Think about a dirty furnace filter in your Penngrove home. When it’s all clogged up, enough clean air can’t get through. In your minivan, that means that your engine can’t get as much air as it needs to burn the fuel efficiently. So it makes do with less air and has to use more gas to move your vehicle around Santa Rosa roads.
Your minivan actually needs about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gas it burns. Engine air filters don’t cost much in Santa Rosa at Larsen Auto Care. When it’s time to change yours, just get it done. You’ll save money, have better performance and protect your engine.
