Engines that operate through internal combustion rely on large amounts of clean air to ensure the fuel burns properly and generates the power needed to drive the vehicle. At Claremont Tyre and Auto in Claremont, we understand how vital it is to keep your car's air filter in good condition as part of protecting your engine's health. Your engine requires extremely clean air to function efficiently. Dirt, dust, and other particles entering the engine can cause serious damage. That’s where the air filter comes into play. It ensures the air entering the combustion chambers is clean, shielding key engine components such as the pistons and cylinders from wear and damage. Why Replace Your Air Filter? Save on Fuel Costs: Your engine requires the correct balance of fuel and air to run efficiently. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, causing your engine to run inefficiently – often referred to as ‘running rich.’ This not only puts additional stress on your engine but can also increase fuel consumption by up to 10%. No one likes spending more on petrol than necessary!   Protect Your Engine: Over time, air filters become clogged and weaker, increasing the risk of damage. A damaged or overly dirty air filter can allow harmful particles to enter the engine, potentially leading to expensive repairs.   Benefits of Replacing Your Air Filter: Extends the life of your engine Improves fuel efficiency Reduces vehicle emissions At Claremont Tyre and Auto, we always check the condition of your air filter during every full car service. Whether it’s a major or minor service, or one that follows your manufacturer’s handbook or logbook guidelines, you can trust us to keep your engine running smoothly.

Keep your engine healthy with clean air filters. Improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend engine life. Visit Claremont Tyre and Auto for expert maintenance and reliable car servicing.

Air Filters

Most drivers know their vehicle needs regular servicing, but it's easy to put it off when life gets busy. If your car seems to be driving normally, delaying a service by a few weeks—or even a few months—can feel like a simple way to save money. Unfortunately, skipping scheduled servicing often has the opposite effect. At Claremont Tyre and Auto, we regularly see small maintenance issues turn into expensive repairs simply because routine servicing was delayed. Whether you drive to work every day, take regular road trips around Tasmania, or only use your car occasionally, following your manufacturer's service schedule is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make.  Claremont Tyre and Auto provides servicing for all makes and models, including new vehicles under manufacturer warranty, commercial fleets, diesel vehicles and 4WDs from their workshop at 94 Main Road, Claremont. A Minor Service Is Much Cheaper Than A Major Repair Routine servicing allows our qualified technicians to identify wear and tear before it develops into a serious mechanical problem. Replacing engine oil and filters is inexpensive compared to replacing an engine damaged by poor lubrication. Likewise, replacing worn brake pads costs far less than replacing damaged brake rotors or brake calipers. Regular inspections also help identify: Low or contaminated fluids Worn belts and hoses Suspension wear Brake deterioration Battery problems Tyre wear and wheel alignment issues Cooling system faults Fixing these problems early can save hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars in future repairs. Dirty Engine Oil Can Cause Serious Damage Engine oil protects every moving component inside your engine. Over time it breaks down, becomes contaminated and loses its ability to lubricate properly. Skipping oil changes can lead to: Increased engine wear Sludge build-up Poor fuel economy Reduced engine performance Engine overheating Premature engine failure An engine replacement is one of the most expensive repairs a vehicle owner can face, making regular servicing excellent value. Delaying Maintenance Can Reduce Fuel Economy Many people don't realise that neglected servicing can increase fuel consumption. Dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, incorrect tyre pressures, contaminated engine oil and clogged fuel filters all force your engine to work harder. A properly serviced vehicle runs more efficiently, helping you get more kilometres from every tank of fuel. Small Problems Rarely Stay Small Modern vehicles are fitted with advanced electronics and hundreds of moving components. A tiny coolant leak today can become a blown head gasket tomorrow. A slight vibration can develop into worn suspension, damaged tyres or unsafe steering. A noisy brake pad can quickly wear into the brake rotor, increasing repair costs considerably. Routine servicing allows these issues to be caught before they become major failures. Skipping Your Log Book Service May Affect Warranty If your vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty, missing scheduled log book services may create problems if a warranty claim is required. Following the recommended service intervals helps demonstrate that the vehicle has been maintained correctly.  At Claremont Tyre and Auto, we perform manufacturer-approved log book servicing using quality parts and lubricants, helping maintain your new vehicle warranty without requiring you to return to the dealership. Safety Should Never Be Delayed A routine service isn't just about changing the oil. Every service includes inspections of critical safety systems including: Brakes Steering Suspension Tyres Lights Battery Cooling system Belts and hoses Many dangerous faults develop gradually without obvious warning signs. Regular servicing helps ensure your vehicle remains safe for you and your family. Regular Servicing Helps Maintain Resale Value When it comes time to sell or trade your vehicle, buyers often ask for the service history. A complete servicing record shows the vehicle has been properly maintained, increasing buyer confidence and potentially improving resale value. Vehicles with incomplete servicing records often receive lower offers or take longer to sell. Trust Your Local Claremont Mechanics Whether your vehicle needs a routine service, log book service, brake inspection, tyre replacement, wheel alignment or mechanical repairs, our experienced team is here to help.  As a Repco Authorised Service centre, Claremont Tyre and Auto combines local, personalised service with ongoing technician training, modern diagnostic equipment and quality workmanship. We service customers throughout Claremont, Granton, Austins Ferry, Berriedale, Montrose and Glenorchy. Booking your vehicle on time is one of the easiest ways to avoid unexpected breakdowns and expensive repair bills. Have more questions about your logbook service? How often should I service my car? Most manufacturers recommend servicing every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or every 6–12 months, whichever comes first. Always follow the service schedule listed in your owner's manual. Can I delay my car service by a few weeks? A short delay may not cause immediate problems, but regularly postponing services increases wear and may allow small issues to develop into expensive repairs. Does missing a service void my manufacturer's warranty? Missing scheduled maintenance may affect warranty claims if poor servicing contributed to the failure. Following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals helps protect your warranty. Will regular servicing improve fuel economy? Yes. Clean engine oil, fresh filters, properly inflated tyres and a well-maintained engine all help improve fuel efficiency. What happens if I never change my engine oil? Old oil loses its protective qualities, allowing increased friction and engine wear. Over time this can lead to sludge build-up, overheating and severe engine damage. Is servicing cheaper than repairing my car? Almost always. Preventative maintenance is significantly less expensive than replacing major components such as engines, transmissions or cooling systems. What is included in a standard car service? A typical service includes replacing engine oil and the oil filter, checking fluid levels, inspecting brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, battery, lights, belts, hoses and other important safety items. The exact items depend on your vehicle and service schedule. Can Claremont Tyre and Auto service my new car? Yes. We carry out manufacturer-approved log book servicing on new vehicles while helping maintain your new car warranty using quality parts and approved service procedures. Why is my car using more fuel than usual? Poor fuel economy can be caused by overdue servicing, dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, incorrect tyre pressures, old engine oil or other mechanical issues. A service can identify the cause. When should I book my next car service? If your vehicle is approaching its next scheduled service interval, your dashboard service reminder is on, or it's been close to 12 months since your last service, it's a good idea to book now. Regular servicing helps keep your vehicle safe, reliable and performing at its best.

Delaying your car service can lead to expensive repairs, poor fuel economy and safety issues. Learn why regular servicing matters from the trusted team at Claremont Tyre and Auto in Claremont TAS.

At Claremont Tyre and Auto, we recently had a customer bring in their newly purchased 2011 Mitsubishi Triton 2.5L 4D56 turbo diesel ute to investigate an engine oil leak. The vehicle had only been in their ownership for a short time, and understandably they wanted clarity and peace of mind about the issue. Initial Inspection & Findings The customer requested that we confirm the source of the oil leak. After carrying out a thorough inspection, we identified that oil was leaking from inside the timing cover area. Our initial diagnosis pointed towards a failed front crankshaft oil seal. During the discussion, the customer informed us that the timing belt kit had been replaced approximately six months earlier — before they had purchased the vehicle. Given the location of the leak and the recent timing belt replacement, we recommended booking the Triton in to remove the timing components and properly inspect the seals. What We Found Once we removed the timing belt components, the cause became clear: The front crankshaft oil seal had completely dislodged from its housing The camshaft oil seal was also leaking However, the root cause went deeper. Further investigation revealed that the ProVent catch can filter was completely blocked. This blockage caused excessive crankcase pressure, as the engine was unable to breathe correctly. When crankcase pressure builds up, it can force oil seals out of position — which is exactly what happened in this case. The Repair Process To rectify the issue, we: Replaced the front crankshaft oil seal Replaced the camshaft oil seal Installed a new timing belt kit Fitted a new ProVent catch can filter Reassembled all timing components to manufacturer specifications Conducted a thorough road test to ensure correct operation and confirm no further leaks After repairs, the engine was breathing correctly, crankcase pressure was normalised, and the oil leak was completely resolved. Why Catch Can Maintenance Is So Important Catch cans are a great addition to diesel engines like the 4D56, helping to reduce oil vapour contamination in the intake system. However, they must be regularly drained and the filter element checked or replaced as required. If a catch can becomes blocked: Crankcase pressure increases Oil seals can fail Oil leaks can develop Major engine damage may occur if left unchecked Routine servicing and inspections help prevent these types of issues — particularly when purchasing a used vehicle with aftermarket modifications. If you’ve recently purchased a vehicle or noticed signs of an oil leak, our experienced team at Claremont Tyre and Auto can provide accurate diagnostics and reliable repairs. Preventative maintenance and correct installation practices make all the difference in keeping your vehicle running smoothly.
