Every New Orleans 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 sedan owner’s manual will have a recommendation of when to change the filter. Second, a visual inspection by your New Orleans technician may determine that your filter it is visibly dirty and needs to be changed.

So between your owner’s manual and your New Orleans technician’s inspection there’s really no guesswork involved for New Orleans car owners.

Now, most air filters purchased in New Orleans, Metairie, Chalmette, or Kenner don’t cost a lot to replace. It’s just that Louisiana people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Boudreaux's can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change in New Orleans.

Think about a dirty furnace filter in your New Orleans home. When it’s all clogged up, enough clean air can’t get through. In your sedan, that means that your engine can’t get as much air as it needs to burn the fuel efficiently. So it makes do with less air and has to use more pricey Louisiana gas to move your vehicle around New Orleans roads.

Your sedan actually needs about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gas it burns. Engine air filters don’t cost much in New Orleans at Boudreaux's. When it’s time to change yours, just get it done. You’ll get better fuel efficiency, have better performance and protect your sedan engine.
