Your car’s air filter is an essential part of the engine’s intake system. It’s responsible for filtering out dirt, dust, and other contaminants from the air that enters your engine, which can cause damage and reduce performance if left unchecked. Most car manufacturers recommend changing your air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or once a year, whichever comes first. This can be an expensive service if done at a dealership or mechanic. But with a few simple tools and a little know-how, you can easily replace your car’s air filter yourself and save money in the process.
