What Are The Recommendations For Changing Filters

It's best to follow the service maintenance schedules found in the car owner's manuals. If you have lost your owners manual you can try finding one on-line by going to the manufactures web site. There might be a charge for this. Or see Modern Auto Air and allow us to check your system and check your filters for no charge.

Air Filters need to be inspected regularly and replaced as often as needed, regardless of mileage or time. Dirty air filters can increase fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Check it every 3,000 miles when you change your oil. Come see Modern Auto Air or give us a call.and allow us to check your system and replace your filters.

Fuel Filters should be replaced yearly and/or at every tune-up, especially on fuel injected cars. The fuel filter in a vehicle with electronic fuel injection passes a much larger volume of fuel than its counterpart in a carburetor application. If the tank is dirty or rusty, constant fuel recirculation can pick up a lot of debris that ends up in the filter. If the filter plugs, the engine is starved for fuel or unfiltered fuel is allowed to bypass the filter. The latter can damage injectors.

Oil Filters need to be replaced at every oil change every six months or 3,000 miles in most cases despite the advice in many owner's manuals to only change the filter at every other oil change. A new filter is cheap insurance against major engine damage, so why take unnecessary risks? see Modern Auto Air and allow us to replace your filters and oil.

Automatic Transmission Fluid: Few owner's manuals have a suggested change interval for the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or fluid filter unless the vehicle is used for towing. Most transmission specialists say the best preventative maintenance for prolonging automatic transmission life is to change fluid and filter every years or 15,000 miles. Without question the best way to change your ATF is to Power Flush™ the transmission.

Modern Auto Air follows the manufacturer's recommendations on the specific type of ATF to use. The type of ATF should match the specs required for the application.

As always the best advice is to see a Modern Auto Air technician and allow us to check your system and replace your filters.
