Every Redmond 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 to change the filter. Second, a visual inspection by your Redmond technician may determine that your filter it is visibly dirty and needs to be changed.
So between your owner’s manual and your Bend technician’s inspection there’s really no guesswork involved for Redmond car owners.
Now, most air filters purchased in Redmond, Bend, Prineville, or Terrebonne 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 Marshalls Automotive can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change in Redmond.
Think about a dirty furnace filter in your Redmond home. When it’s all clogged up, enough clean air can’t get through. In your vehicle, 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 costly Oregon gas to move your vehicle around Bend roads.
Your vehicle actually needs about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gas it burns. Engine air filters don’t cost much in Redmond at Marshalls Automotive. When it’s time to change yours, just get it done. You’ll get better fuel efficiency, have better performance and protect your vehicle engine.
