Regularly changing your engine air filter and rotating your tires are two simple but essential vehicle maintenance tasks that can have a big impact on performance and longevity. But how do you know when it's time for an air filter replacement or tire rotation on your vehicle in Palatka, FL?
Most manufacturers recommend changing the engine air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles under normal driving conditions. If you frequently drive on dusty roads, you may need to replace it more often. Signs it's time for a new air filter include reduced acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency, engine misfires, or a rough idle.
For optimal tire wear, it's best to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles or at the interval specified in your owner's manual. Regular rotations help ensure even tread wear, which prolongs tire life and maintains traction and handling. If you notice uneven wear, vibration, or the vehicle pulling to one side, it's probably time for a rotation.
