Spring is in the air, and, unfortunately, so is pollen, dust, and debris. While you’re busy deep-cleaning your home or prepping your yard for the changing seasons, don’t forget about your vehicle. Seasonal maintenance goes beyond oil changes; your car’s filters play a significant role in its performance, efficiency, and even the air you breathe. Replacing these filters on a regular basis is important for overall automotive health and functionality.
At Strickland Brothers 10-Minute Oil Change, our service staff works with you to stay on top of filter maintenance. With every oil change, we provide a free seven-point courtesy check that includes your engine air filter and cabin air filter, which helps keep your car running cleanly, both inside and out.
Oil Filter Replacement
Your oil filter is your engine’s first line of defense against harmful contaminants. As motor oil circulates, it picks up microscopic particles of dirt and debris. The oil filter traps those particles, keeping your engine lubricated with clean oil.
Neglecting to change your oil filter can lead to sludge buildup, reduced performance, and costly engine damage. That’s why every oil change at Strickland Brothers includes a brand-new oil filter,* so your engine gets the clean oil and engine protection it needs.
*Select specialty filters may require an upcharge.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Your engine needs clean air to function at its best. The engine air filter keeps dust, pollen, and other airborne debris from entering the engine’s air intake system. A dirty air filter can reduce fuel efficiency, limit acceleration, and put unnecessary strain on the engine. If you’ve noticed signs of a bad air filter like reduced acceleration, it might be time for an engine air filter replacement.
With spring pollen swirling, it’s a perfect time to inspect this filter. At Strickland Brothers, we always inspect your engine air filter as part of our free courtesy check, and we’ll let you know if it’s due for a filter replacement.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement
Your vehicle’s cabin air filter cleans the outside air that comes in through your HVAC system, catching dust, pollen, and even mold spores before they reach your lungs. While many cars do have these, some vehicles don’t have cabin air filters. The easiest way to find out if your vehicle has one is to Google the year, make and model of the car.
If you or your passengers suffer from spring allergies, a clean cabin air filter can make a noticeable difference in your comfort. Plus, it helps keep your defroster and air conditioner running efficiently. As part of every visit, our staff checks your cabin air filter so you and your passengers can breathe more easily.
Fuel Filter Replacement
Your vehicle’s fuel filter keeps contaminants out of your fuel system, protecting your fuel injectors to ensure your engine runs smoothly. While it doesn’t need to be replaced as often as other filters, it’s a good idea to pay attention to its status, especially if your vehicle is starting to show signs of sluggishness or decreased performance.
Drive Clean This Spring
Your vehicle’s filters work hard to keep your engine running smoothly and your air clean. Don’t let old, dirty filters drag down your car’s performance or your passengers’ comfort. Filter replacements are essential for extending the life of your vehicle.
