Hi!
We've got around 5,000 miles on the Compass already!
So far no issues besides that little engine mishap.
Anyhow, we were wondering when the air filter needs to be changed?
I know on every car/truck it is different because of where it gets the air from. Like I notice on the Compass it draws it in from the front, where as my F150 and Dakota draw the air in from the sides. Say for my F150, the manufacturer recommends changing it at 15,000 miles... but sometimes it is still clean.
I haven't really looked at the air filter yet, but I did give it an oil change, and the engine oil looked good, which is a plus!
We just don't want it to go too long. But I am looking for a general guideline for this particular engine.
