How Often to Change an Engine Oil Filter

How Often to Change an Engine Oil Filter There has always been a debate as to how often an oil filter change is necessary, and there always will be a debate because, well, it depends. A general rule of thumb is 5,000 miles between oil changes but this will vary based on vehicle age, usage, and manufacturer requirements.

It's not getting any cooler out here!

❄️Summer Air Conditioning Tip for your vehicle! Especially on days like today!

🚙Most all vehicles have a recirculation button within the AC controls. However, many of us are unsure when to use it!

✅We have an answer! The easy answer is to use it in the summer and turn it off in the winter.

➡️The recirculation button simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it inside the cabin, instead of pulling fresh air from outside! On extremely hot days like we’ve been having lately, if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, then your AC system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it.

🎉Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.

☀️In addition, if your car has been baking in the sun, it is better to roll the windows down and turn your recirculate button OFF for the first few minutes to get rid of the super hot air inside the car, then turn it back on once the air is cool!

⭐️Also, any time you are stuck in traffic ( summer or winter), be sure to use the recirculate feature. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from the other cars in traffic. Studies show that recirculating your AC can cut down on the pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic!
