Keeping up with filters & fluids service is essential for any car owner. Here are a few reasons why staying on top of filter & fluid service is necessary.
- Cleaner Air Filter: A clean air filter is vital for your car’s performance and fuel efficiency. If the air filter becomes clogged, it cannot draw in enough air, resulting in poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency. A dirty air filter can be easily replaced without hassle or expense.
- Fresh Motor Oil: Motor oil is one of the most critical fluids in any car-it lubricates the engine parts and keeps them running smoothly. Over time, motor oil will become contaminated with dirt, debris, and other particles that can cause damage to your engine if not removed regularly. Regular oil changes keep your engine running efficiently while reducing wear and tear on its components.
- Update Fluids & Filters: Besides motor oil, several other filters and fluids need regular attention to keep your vehicle running well. This includes brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant/antifreeze, cabin air filters, and more! These fluids should be checked regularly for contamination or low levels; if necessary, they should be drained and refilled with fresh fluids.
Staying on top of regular maintenance will ensure your vehicle runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently for years. If you’re ever unsure about what needs servicing in your car or truck-reach out to our experienced mechanics -we’d be happy to answer any questions you may have!
