Filters and fluids may seem like minor components of your vehicle, but they play a crucial role in its overall performance and longevity. We recognize the significance of proper maintenance, and we’re here to highlight the importance of filters and fluids in keeping your car running smoothly.
Engine Oil and Filter: Think of engine oil as the lifeblood of your vehicle. It lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and dissipates heat. However, oil breaks down over time and becomes contaminated with dirt and debris. Regular oil changes, along with the replacement of the oil filter, ensure optimal engine performance and protection against wear and tear.
Air Filter: Your engine requires a steady supply of clean air for efficient combustion. The air filter prevents dust, pollen, and other contaminants from entering the engine. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, decreasing fuel efficiency and engine power. You can maintain peak engine performance and prolong its lifespan by replacing your air filter at recommended intervals, typically every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.
Fuel Filter: The fuel filter prevents impurities from reaching the engine, ensuring a clean supply of fuel for combustion. Over time, the filter becomes clogged with dirt and debris, restricting fuel flow and compromising engine performance. Regular fuel filter replacement, typically every 20,000 to 40,000 miles, prevents engine misfires, hesitation, and stalling.
Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is a lubricant and a coolant for your vehicle’s transmission system. It facilitates smooth gear shifts and helps dissipate heat generated during operation. Over time, transmission fluid can break down and become contaminated, leading to transmission slippage and failure. Regular fluid changes, typically every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, maintain transmission performance and prevent costly repairs.
Coolant: Coolant regulates your engine’s temperature, preventing it from overheating or freezing in extreme conditions. It also prevents corrosion and lubricates the water pump. Regular coolant checks and flushes, typically every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, ensure optimal engine cooling and prevent costly overheating-related damage.
