O2 SENSOR: AUTOMOTIVE MIRACLE
Breaking the High Test Habit
Pump Gas 
Now, more than ever, the high price of high-test gas warrants the weaning process. If regular (87 octane) is specified for your engine, it should run well on that fuel, and there's no need to bump up to a higher grade.
 
The main reason for using a higher octane is because the engine was designed to use that grade, which is noted in the owner's manual.

HIGHER LEVEL OF SATISFACTION

According to the May 2008 issue of Consumer Reports, more Americans (71 percent) are very satisfied with independent repair shops for vehicle service than new car dealers (53 percent). To ensure that car owners can continue to choose who will repair their vehicles, Congress introduced the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (H.R. 2694).
PROTECT DRIVER & PASSENGERS FROM BREATHING DIRTY AIR--QUALITY CABIN AIR FILTERS

Roadside air - especially along busy roads and highways - contains high levels of pollen, dust, soot and smog whose harmful effects are well documented. And children, with "young lungs", are more sensitive to the effects of air pollution than adults. So if you are taking the kids to school or soccer practice with the windows rolled up the air quality inside a car often can be worse than the air outside - especially in heavy traffic.
 
To protect against the dangers of these pollutants, modern vehicles utilize a cabin air filter, which acts much like the filter in the home's heating system - trapping dust, dirt and grime from the road and pumping clean air into the passenger compartment. Over time, however, the cabin air filter can get clogged and actually multiply the dangers associated with these pollutants when the vehicle's heating and air conditioning system blows them into the closed interior with no avenue for escape.
 
WHEEL ALIGNMENT: FRONT OR FOUR?
 
Wheel alignment is perceived by most motorists as pertaining to the front wheels - the ones that steer the vehicle. For some, the term fourwheel alignment conjures up visions of inscrutable equipment and highly specialized automotive service.
 
Wheel alignment is much simpler than most people think. It's a matter of making sure the wheels are operating parallel with one another and that the tires meet the road at the correct angle.
 
Normal road shock and general wear and tear can knock some of the steering and suspension angles out of specification. When that happens, control of the vehicle may be affected and the tires may begin to wear unevenly and rapidly. The car needs to be realigned to have all the proper angles restored.
 

 
O2 SENSOR: AUTOMOTIVE MIRACLE
 
The oxygen (O2) sensor in your car's engine is an amazing bit of technology.
 
Installed in the exhaust system, it's about the size and shape of a spark plug. Each day, when you start the car, it goes to work, constantly comparing the oxygen content in the exhaust gases to the oxygen in the outside air. If the ratio doesn't meet manufacturer's specifications, it signals the computer controls in the fuel/emission control system and adjustments are made.
 
When the mix is correct (14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel) it saves gas and increases performance. A malfunctioning O2 sensor not only is bad for your fuel consumption and the environment, but it also can damage the catalytic converter, a critical part of the exhaust system.

In this newsletter, we will feature articles that have the same beliefs as myself. I hope you enjoy them.
 
Sincerely,
