Is it better to buy oil filters from a Chrysler dealership than from Wal-Mart?

Filters must be changed every 3,500 to 8,000 miles. If the filter is properly maintained, then there will be little to no difference in how the engine performs.

These materials are the barriers that protect the engine's internals from any unwanted deposits.

How can you troubleshoot a fuel pump?

Other symptoms of a bad fuel pump include sputtering, stuttering or stammering when trying to start the car or when the car is under load.
