August 8, 2018

Every Brighton 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 the filter should be replaced.

So between your owner's manual and your Brighton technician's inspection there's really no guesswork involved for Brighton drivers.

Now, most air filters purchased in Brighton don't cost a lot to replace. It's just that Michigan people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Spartan Tire Brighton can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change in Brighton.
