We all know that we are supposed to replace our vehicle’s filters to increase its lifespan. But how often should we replace these filters?
We’ve included a checklist to help you keep track of all of the different filters and when you should replace them. Be sure to read your vehicle’s manual to see its recommendations. Filter changes differ from vehicle to vehicle. For one type of vehicle, it may be every 3,000 miles. For another type of vehicle, it may be every 5,000 miles.
Filter Replacement Checklist
- Oil Filter: Change every 3,000 miles. The oil filter catches any dirt and contaminants that may be in your vehicle’s oil.
- Air Filter: Change every 20,000-25,000 miles. The air filter protects against dirt traveling into your vehicle’s air intake system.
- Fuel Filter: Change every 30,000 miles. The fuel filter traps any dirt or particles traveling in the fuel before it gets to the engine.
- Transmission Filter: Change every 30,000 miles. A transmission filter protects against a clogged and dirty transmission.
By regularly changing these filters, you will add miles to your vehicle’s lifespan. Filters remove the bad from the good allowing your vehicle’s engine to run properly. The best thing about all of these filters is the price. Filters are inexpensive parts that keep your vehicle in good shape. A filter is well worth its price.
Next time you’re thinking about a Santa Fe oil change or a Phoenix oil change, check with your mechanic to see if any filters besides the oil filter need to be replaced. Changing a filter can go a long way in improving the performance of your vehicle.
