As every day and week goes by the price of gas now seems to just keep inching higher.  There is one way to instantly get a little relief at the gas pump and quickly increase your gas mileage 5 to 10%.  Do you know what it is?  Its as simple as changing and properly caring for your vehicles air filter.

Its an interesting fact that over 80% of people commonly neglect their car or trucks air filter when having other maintenance done.  For instance, at every oil change the air filter should be checked – almost no one does this unless you go to a new car dealer service department (they’ll sell you an extremely overpriced new one whether you need it or not).

Checking your car or trucks air filter is actually quite easy on most vehicles and only takes a minute or two.  Most air filters are now-a-days located in the front left or right of the engine compartment.  It’s the big boxy, plastic container with the spring clamps.  If you have difficulty finding it or you have one of those rare vehicles with one that is hard to get to it is advisable to get out your car owners manual which will have pictures and a step by step process on how to change and care for your air filter for your specific vehicle. 

Headlight Restoration, Repair and Cleaner from the best in the business!

Upon opening the housing unit that contains the air filter be careful so as to not tear, puncture or otherwise hurt the air filter as you may end up reusing it if its not that dirty.  In many cases you can just shake out or vacuum out the loose dirt and reuse the filter.  Its when you don’t do this that the dirt builds up and tears and perforations form and then it needs replacing.

There are permanent filters like K & N and others that just need a quick rinse to clean and they work well also, but are more expensive.  They do look nice however and usually come with an improved air intake that can add an extra 5 to 10 horsepower and possibly increase gas mileage.  Just be sure to make sure it doesn’t void your car warranty and get in the way of your emissions parts.

So you basically take out the filter look it over and make sure its reusable, clean it out and then replace it.  If it has become torn, perforated or overly soiled you need to replace it.  Air filters are relatively cheap and can be bought at your local Walmart for the lowest prices (never go to your car dealer as they sell the exact same quality air filters and charge several times the price – someones got to pick up the tab for the car dealers extravagant lifestyle).
