Winter weather can do a number on your car’s components, especially the filters. So, make sure you schedule your spring tuneup at Peruzzi Toyota to have these important filters inspected and replaced.
Oil Filter
A good rule to follow is to change your car’s oil every season. This also means having your oil filter changed every 3,000 miles or three months, whichever comes first. Having the oil and filter changed by spring ensures your car is ready to take on the new season and operate at peak efficiency.
Air Filter
An engine’s air filter is designed to filter out any impurities taken into the engine for combustion. When it becomes dirty or clogged, your car can lose power or fuel mileage. While there’s no set recommendation for changing an air filter, it’s a good idea to switch it out once a year. Since you’re already prepping your car for spring, now is as good a time as any!
Fuel Filter
In gas-powered engines, the fuel filter removes impurities to help the car run smoother. Fuel filters also prevent corrosion from building up in diesel engines. You’ll want to check your owner’s manual for fuel filter replacement recommendations, or ask your technician. Most experts recommend having it changed anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 miles. With today’s cleaner engine designs, however, you could push it to 90,000 miles depending on your vehicle.
Don’t wait any longer to replace your car’s dirty filters. Schedule an appointment with the technicians at Peruzzi Toyota and have your car ready to go by spring!
