December 30, 2018

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

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