I've noticed my Ford EcoSport's engine's performance has been decreasing lately. I think it might be time to replace the air filter. How can I do it myself? Any tips?
ReplyHi Jenna, you're right, a dirty air filter affects engine performance. What you can do is locate the air filter box under the hood and remove the clips holding the lid in place. Replace the old filter with a new one and secure the lid back on. Make sure to dispose of the old filter properly. You can also refer to your car's manual for specific instructions.
Hey Jenna, the air filter is usually located near the front of the engine. It's a good idea to check it once a year or every 12,000 miles. Just make sure the engine is turned off and remove the old filter. Install the new one and make sure it's properly sealed. This simple maintenance will improve your car's fuel economy and overall performance.
