I have a Ford S-Max and I noticed that my gas mileage has been decreasing. I think it's time to replace the air filter, but I'm not sure how to do it. Can someone walk me through the process step-by-step?
ReplyReplacing the air filter is a fairly simple task. First, locate the air filter housing, which is usually a rectangular box near the engine. Open the housing and remove the dirty air filter. Then, insert the new air filter and close the housing. It's important to refer to your vehicle's manual for specific instructions and to make sure you have the correct replacement filter.
I suggest changing the air filter every 12,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. This will help maintain your fuel efficiency and keep your engine running smoothly. As for the replacement process, it's always helpful to have a second person there to hold the housing open while you switch out the filter. Good luck!
