Engine oil serves three main purposes, most people probably already know oil lubricates the engine's internal components such as the bearings, crankshaft, camshafts and lifters. Perhaps less known are the remaining primary functions; cooling and cleaning. Oil cools internal engine components and keeps engine temperatures under control while detergents and additives remove carbon build up and dirt that has found its way into the crankcase through the combustion chamber by way of the air intake.Today's engines run so cleanly that 10,000-mile oil change intervals are considered normal, but the job of the filter hasn't changed. It has to do its...

It's important to check the condition of your cars air filter at regular intervals; we recommend that your air filter is changed every time your car has an annual or 12,000 mile service. Your cars air filter prevents airborne debris such as dust, leaves and other abrasives finding their way in to the engine's cylinders where it can mix with the lubricating oil and form an abrasive compound. This will cause wear to the cylinders, pistons and bearings causing permanent damage.If your air filter is left neglected it will get dirty and blocked preventing your engine from sucking enough air...
