When driving around Portland, your family car engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas.

All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually the filter gets completely full. Because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. This dirty air passes through the mass airflow sensor, and starts to accumulate on the delicate sensor element. The mass air flow sensor measures how much air is getting into your engine. When the airflow reading is incorrect, your family car engine doesn’t get the proper amount of fuel. It runs rough and doesn’t perform as well as it should.

Eventually, the sensor is so damaged it needs to be replaced – which is pricy. In fact you could buy a case or two of air filters for the cost of a sensor replacement.

Of course, that dirty air keeps on going through to your family car engine where it’s burned along with the fuel, which dirties up your combustion chamber and increases harmful exhaust emissions – not a good thing for Cincinnati air quality, not to mention our lungs.

When your treat you like family Dan’s Auto Repair service advisor brings out your dirty air filter and recommends a replacement, remember the cost and poor performance that can be waiting for you down the road if you neglect this simple Dan’s Auto Repair service. Ask your Dan’s Auto Repair advisor if it’s time to replace your engine air filter.

Your family car engine really needs clean air to operate efficiently: it takes about twelve thousand gallons of air to burn a gallon of gas in your family car engine. And clean air is much better than dirty.

When your air filter’s dirty, it simply can’t trap any more dirt, so the dirt just passes through into your air intake system. From there it can get into the family car engine combustion chamber. And burning dust and pollen in your engine as you drive around Salem does you no good.

The verdict: When your engine air filter needs to be replaced; it needs to be replaced. How often depends entirely on how dirty the air is in Salem where you drive. A simple visual inspection by a treat you like family Harold’s Quality Auto Repair Inc. technician will tell you when you need a new engine air filter in your family car.

When you look at the air filter on your furnace in your Salem home and see it’s all clogged up with dust and dirt, you don’t hesitate to replace it. But don’t wait until your air filter (furnace or automobile) is totally plugged – by that time you’ve been running inefficiently in Salem for a lot of miles.

When your Harold’s Quality Auto Repair Inc. service technician brings out your nasty engine air filter, you now know why you should go ahead and change it out.

Every Salem 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 family car owner’s manual will have a recommendation of when to change the filter. Second, a visual inspection by your Portland technician may determine that your filter it is visibly dirty and needs to be changed.

So between your family car owner’s manual and your Portland technician’s inspection there’s really no guesswork involved.

Now, most air filters purchased in Salem don’t cost a lot to replace. It’s just that Oregon people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Harold’s Quality Auto Repair Inc. can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change.

Think about a dirty furnace filter in your Dallas home. When it’s all clogged up, enough clean air can’t get through. In your family car, 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 Salem roads.

Your family car actually needs about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gas it burns. Engine air filters don’t cost much in Salem at Harold’s Quality Auto Repair Inc.. When it’s time to change yours, just get it done. You’ll save money, have better performance and protect your engine.

Today we want to talk about your engine air filter.

That’s the filter that cleans the air before it’s burned in your engine. Many people in Atlanta wonder how often they should change their engine air filter. The simple answer is ‘when it’s dirty’. That’s a function of how much air has passed through the filter, so your manufacturer will recommend a mileage interval for replacing the air filter. But you can imagine that how dirty the air is would affect how quickly the filter gets filled.

If you drive in Atlanta where there’s lots of dust, pollution or pollen, your engine air filter will get dirty more quickly and need to be changed sooner. That’s why we check the air filter with every full-service oil change at NAPA Autocare HQ. We can visually tell if the filter needs to be changed.

Your filter can only hold so much dirt. Once the filter is full, dirt will pass through to the engine. This dirt gums up the combustion chamber and hurts fuel economy and may cause damage. It can also contaminate the Mass Air Flow Sensor which will affect drivability and can be fairly expensive to replace.

A dirty air filter would also restrict the amount of air that gets to the engine which hurts fuel economy. We can replace your engine air filter with one that matches the factory specifications or you can upgrade your filter for enhanced performance.

So when your Atlanta GA service advisor at NAPA Autocare HQ shows you your dirty air filter, you know how important it is to get it replaced.
