December 18, 2016

Every Livonia 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 vehicle owner's manual will have a recommendation of when the filter should be replaced.

So between your owner's manual and your Livonia technician's inspection there's really no guesswork involved for Livonia drivers.

Now, most air filters purchased in Livonia don't cost a lot to replace. It's just that Michigan people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Elite Tire And Auto Care can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change in Livonia.
