Replacement Filters

Filters play a crucial role in the efficiency and performance of your vehicle. Even from normal use, a filter can become clogged and contaminated, causing poor performance. All filters need to be as clean and free of dirt particles and other contaminants that could end up in your fuel line or your engine.

Recommended Replacement*:

every 6,000 miles**

These filters provide protection from dust and dirt, preventing damage to throttle bodies, valves, cylinders, rings, rockers and bearings. When it becomes clogged or dirty, your vehicle will run and idle rough and get poor gas mileage.

**Ideally they should be checked with EVERY change.

Recommended Replacement*:

with EVERY oil change

Without an oil filter, oil will become saturated with contaminants causing internal parts to wear prematurely. Oil filters help your car run better longer by maintaining a clean, well-performing engine. Changing the oil filter in your vehicle regularly is an essential part of engine maintenance.

Recommended Replacement*:

every 24,000 - 30,000 miles

Fuel filters prevent dirt particles, water or other contaminants from getting into the fuel and blocking some of the fuel injectors and delivery systems causing poor performance.

Recommended Replacement*:

every 12 months or 12,000 miles

These filters are housed in your vehicle's air conditioner system and block potentially harmful airborne pollutants from entering the interior.

Recommended Replacement*:

every 12,000 - 12,000 miles

A PCV valve ventilates the crankcase. When worn, it can cause rough engine idle, blown oil seals, excessive engine part wear and shorter oil life. A worn out PCV valve can also contribute to air pollution.

Recommended Replacement*:

every 12 months or 12,000 miles

The crankcase breather filter assures only clean, filtered air is drawn in through the PCV. A clogged breather filter could result in oil breakdown and sludge buildup.
