Replace Your Air Filter
Your car depends on oxygen just like you. Replacing the filter regularly — typically every 15,000 to 30,000 miles — will improve your vehicle’s performance. But getting it done by a professional can run you between $40 and $100 depending on the make and model, according to Angie’s List. It’s fairly easy, however, to clean or replace the filter yourself.
To clean your car’s air filter, just locate the filter, remove it, wipe it clean, clean the housing and then put it back. If it needs to be replaced, just take out the old one, clean the housing and put in the new one.
