4. Air filter Replacement

The combustion process begins immediately you start your car, with oxygen being a vital component of this process. As your engine draws in oxygen, the air filter prevents debris and other dirt from entering your engine and destroying vital components. However, with time the air filter collects a lot of dirt and grime. If too much dirt accumulates on the filter, it prevents sufficient amounts of oxygen from reaching your engine hence decreasing its performance. To prevent this, it’s recommended that your air filter is inspected during every car maintenance service.
