I doubt my car needs a fuel filter, air filter, and oil changed as often as mechanics say. Can?

Mechanics are trained to sell maintenace to keep the shop profitable. This is a generally harmless way to make some steady money. If you follow the manufacturers recommened maintenace schedule you can't go wrong.

Its hard to calculate the cost of performing maintenace versus waiting for your car do die. A clogged fuel filter can cause premature fuel pump failure. Filter change 115 dollars, fuel pump job 900 dollars.

A clogged air filter can cause the car to over-fuel. Potential damage to the engine from overfueling, loss of fuel economy, potential to damage the catalytic converters. An air filter is 15 dollars.

You can see where this is going. If you want to save some money consider learning to do some maintenace yourself rather than paying full-rate at the garage.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
