Changing your air filter should be a familiar and comfortable process; if it's not, you've come to the right place. It's inexpensive, easy and can play a big role in vehicle performance. You are probably wondering, "But how will I know when to change the filter? I'm no mechanic!" Well bewildered reader, a good rule of thumb is once or twice a year, or roughly every 12,000 miles. But keep in mind that your environment can affect this. Obviously daily dirt road driving will require you to replace your filter more often than Sunday driving in the city.

If nothing else, learn to change your own air filter. It's so easy and saves you money.

Can you remember your last visit to Jiffy Lube for an oil change? These guys always hit you up with the patented, "You really need a new air filter" line. And you're left wondering, "Do I really need a new one? What should I do? Can I really trust this guy?" If in your shock, you utter "Ok," the mechanic then adds another set of fees for labor, parts, and a new air filter, whose brand is usually a mystery.

Now you can stick it to the man and simply say, "No thanks, I will do it myself." That is if, in fact, it really needs to be done.

It's time to get down and dirty. Park your car in a shaded area and let it cool for a few minutes--you don't want to be working with a steaming engine that can potentially burn you; i.e. don't change your filter after a six hour road trip.

You will need very few tools for this procedure. If possible grab two medium-sized screwdrivers, one Philips and one standard.

The air filter is typically enclosed in a black plastic casing near the top of the engine. In larger vehicles, it may be off to the side. It is usually the largest non-metal assembly you see; approximately the size of a bread box.

Most air boxes are held together by a couple of large metal clips on the side. Either pop off the clips or slide the flat-head screwdriver between the casing and the clip and pry the clip off. Occasionally you will find the top is held down by several long screws, in which case you simply unscrew them to access the filter.

Pop the air box top off and expose the secrets of the all mighty air box. Basically, you will find the air filter--riveting, I know. It's usually bright yellow or orange or red, to better see collected dirt.

Pull it out. It's typically one foot by six inches and has rubber edges along the bottom.

To check for cleanliness, hold it up and bend it back, so the paper ridges of the filter flutter like pages in a book. Now look in the crevices and look at all the dirt and grime it stopped from entering your engine. Pretty cool, huh? Hold the filter at arms length and look at it straight on. If the colored paper is mostly dirty in the center than it is time to replace it. Guess how much this will cost you-- About $5; a lot less than Jiffy Lube.

You can throw the old filter in a plastic bag and bring it to your local auto part store to make sure you get the right replacement. Or you can save time by ordering a new one online. You can now stand proud and confidently say, "I know how to check and replace my air filter." And damn it feels good.

From K&N to Volant filters, you really can’t go wrong with any name brand air filter. You may also want to consider upgrading to a Volant cold air intake for added sound and performance. –Mike Rosania

Honda: Union of Concerned Scientists’ ‘greenest Automaker’

The American Honda Motor Co., Inc., the most fuel efficient car company in the United States, has earned the title of America's "2007 Greenest Automaker" from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) for the fourth consecutive time this year. The award is given by the UCS on a biennial basis to the auto manufacturer with the lowest overall production of smog-forming emissions and global warming emissions (primarily CO2) in its American fleet.

"Honda remains the greenest U.S. automaker. The company installs clean technology across its entire fleet of cars and trucks and that consistency makes it a top environmental performer. Honda is one of only two automakers to have better-than-average global warming scores in every class of vehicles it sold in MY2005," said Don MacKenzie, a vehicles engineer working with the Union of Concerned Scientists. "In addition, Honda continues to have the best smog score in four out of the five classes."

Honda, one of the rising Japanese automakers, is committed to remain a leader in the development and application of new auto technologies that respond to three critical environmental challenges: improving fuel efficiency to cut greenhouse gas emissions that are responsible to global warming; dipping smog-forming emissions to limit air pollution; and delivering real-world alternatives to gasoline to slash foreign oil dependence.

"We are proud to be recognized as a leader, and will continue to challenge ourselves to improve the environmental performance of our company and our products," said John Mendel, the executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "We have entered a period in history where society is more critically aware of how the actions we take today determine the course of our environmental future for generations to come. We accept this as our challenge."

The American Honda, the Torrance-based automaker, has applied leading-edge fuel efficient technologies to the full range of its Honda and Acura product lines and thus gets the result of having industry-leading corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) as determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA imposes a 33.9 mpg and 24.7 mpg, respectively, for model year 2006 passenger cars and light trucks. Quality auto parts of the automaker that include Honda AEM cam gears, engines and radiators have established a good name in serving environment-friendly purposes.

In May last year, the Japanese automaker became the first to publicly announce voluntary targets for the cutback of CO2 emissions by 2010 from both its products and production operations. Honda is targeting a five percent reduction in CO2 emissions for its global automobile fleet from 2005 levels, on top of a five percent reduction achieved in the 2000-2005 time period. It also will work toward a ten percent reduction for motorcycles and power products from 2000 levels by 2010.

In order to reach the voluntary CO2 reduction goal, Honda will introduce a series of new fuel-efficient technologies and products that include intelligent engine systems; a new, more affordable gas-electric hybrid vehicle in 2009; second-generation Variable Cylinder Management (VCM); and a new clean diesel vehicle in about two years with high fuel efficiency and ultra-low emissions equivalent to a gasoline engine vehicle.
