How to Change Your Car's Air Filter
<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->
A car is similar to a human in the way it breathes, burns energy and expels waste. Changing an air filter on your car is a vital necessity and one which if left for too long, restricts the car's breathing and can cause major problems. Having new and regularly replaced air filters, ensures your car's engine has fresh, unimpeded air flowing through it.
Here is how to change your car's air filter:
-
Purchase the correct air filter for your car, model and engine size. Consult your owner's handbook to retrieve the part number. Have the correct tools for the job at hand before you start, which are: a flat-blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver and an air hose compressor.
-
Secure the car by placing the the gear lever into Park and by applying the parking brake. Open the bonnet (hood) using the in-car bonnet release and secure it with the prop rod.
-
The air filter is usually shrouded with plastic tubing on the top of the engine. Older cars usually have large, circular compartments, while new, fuel injected cars have a square air filter housing. To make sure, check the owner's handbook for reference.
-
Loosen the air filter housing, hose clamps and screws (making sure you remember or number them in there respective place). Take out the paper, gauze or cotton based air filter.
-
Clean out the filter's housing, using an air compressor or a dry cloth if this is not an option. Vacuum out any loose dirt and dust, ensuring there are no particles left.
-
Install the new filter, ensuring it is in the same direction and it is exactly the same as the old filter unit.
-
Replace the air filter housing and all of the retaining screws and clamps. Make sure the housing is on straight and is secured. If it is not, then it could cause poor fuel efficiency.
-
Double check all of the screws, clamps and housing parts are replaced properly, shut the bonnet and start the engine to ensure there are no strange noises.
-
Check the filter after 200kms to ensure all of the fixtures are still tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Remember to change you filter every 15,000km or once a year.

Changing gears on road cycle. was told to stay in the first gear...any suggestions as when and how to change?
Was told to stay in first gear when I purchased my road bike but sometimes I feel like it is too easy. Any suggestions on when to change gears to make it more difficult?
Also I am confused by the right and left gear lever...can any one help?
Who in the world told you to stay in 1st??? There is a reason for the gears, else why have them? You answered your own question: if you feel it's too easy shift to a "harder" gear.
