How Often Should I Change My Engine Air Filter?

It’s easy for many VILLA PARK drivers to overlook certain maintenance tasks, like replacing the engine air filter. But replacing the engine air filter in a vehicle is an important step towards maintaining it in the long-run. While the frequency with which you’ll need to replace your vehicle’s air filter depends on the make and model, along with how much use it gets, most automakers recommend you install a new air filter every 30,000 to 45,000 miles.

In doubt about how often you should change your car’s engine air filter? Consult your vehicle owner’s manual, or contact the Haggerty Buick GMC certified auto technicians to take care of the job for you!

Air Filter Replacement Schedule

The recommended schedule for replacing your engine air filter should be found in your Buick or GMC’s owner’s manual.
