Cayenne's Clean Air for Your Engine: Engine Air Filters In Los Altos

cayenne

Every Los Altos car owner who has taken their car in for an oil change has been told that their engine air filter's dirty.

Hi it is Cayenne again and we are talking dirty, I mean air filter dirty.

Here’s what goes into the determination of when to change the filter: First, your sedan owner’s manual will have a recommendation of when to change the filter. Second, a visual inspection by your Los Altos technician may determine that your filter it is visibly dirty and needs to be changed.

Clean Air for Your Engine Los Altos Engine Air Filter

So between your owner’s manual and your Los Altos technician’s inspection there’s really no guesswork involved for Los Altos car owners.

Now, most air filters purchased in Los Altos, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, or Mt. View don’t cost a lot to replace. It’s just that CA people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Allied Auto Works can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change in Los Altos.

Think about a dirty furnace filter in your Los Altos home. When it’s all clogged up, enough clean air can’t get through. In your sedan, 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 pricey CA gas to move your vehicle around Los Altos roads.

Your sedan actually needs about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gas it burns. Engine air filters don’t cost much in Los Altos at Allied Auto Works. When it’s time to change yours, just get it done. You’ll get better gas mileage, have better performance and protect your sedan engine.

This is Cayenne educating you the consumer.
