July 14, 2019

Every Lincoln 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 Lincoln technician's inspection there's really no guesswork involved for Lincoln drivers.

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