Q: What are the recommendations for changing the different filters in my car? - Steven
A: Dear Steven,
Air filters, such as the carbon air filter and engine air filter, need to be inspected regularly and replaced as often as needed regardless of mileage or time. Dirty air filters can increase fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Fuel filters should be replaced yearly, or at every tune-up, especially on fuel injected cards. If the filter gets clogged, the engine could be deprived of fuel, or unfiltered fuel will be allowed to bypass the filter. This can damage injectors.
Oil filters need to be replaced at every oil change (about every 5,000 miles) despite most owner's manuals saying to change it every other oil change.
