The Simple Engine Filter Your Honda Can't Do Without
Your Honda has a number of filters built into its systems to help keep things running clean and avoid pulling in contaminants that can cause problems. One of the important filters is in the engine, allowing the assembly to pull in outside air for the combustion but not pull in bugs, dust, or grit. Over time, however, that filter needs to be changed out and replaced. However, it's a small cost compared to having to repair the engine from poor care and running dirty.
Easy to Replace if you Know Car Repair
It's quite possible to change your air filter at home, but it's also far easier to just bundle the replacement in with other services like an engine oil filter or a tune-up. The reason why one should consider letting a Honda service bundle the filter change with other services is mainly convenience. The engine air filter typically needs to be replaced about the same time as the engine oil. Our Honda service center stocks exactly the right parts and any throwaway material is disposed of properly without you having to worry about it. Replace the engine air filter yourself, and you will need to look up the right part, buy it at a local auto part store, find and open up the chassis for the filter in your engine, and replace it. Again, this is not a hard job for those mechanically inclined, but Honda service technicians can quickly replace it for you if you're not.
