Yes.

Proper maintenance of cars or any vehicle will add more life to it and increase the quality performance.

If dirty filters of cars is changed, the gas mileage will increase resulting into a better performance of cars.

Dirty air filters reduces the capacity for it to filter the air going into engine. If air filters are not changed for a longer time it results into misfire or trouble starting.
