Augusta has fuel and oil filter available for sale. Fuel is needed for cars and other vehicles, furnaces, running generators and other machines. Oil filters are needed in vehicles to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil, or hydraulic oil. They also retain a small amount of oil when the car is turned off. This small amount of oil would quickly lubricate the engine upon starting, so that friction does not damage the engine. They are also needed in furnaces for the boiler oil used in it. They can be manufactured by various companies, one of more brands of which may be available in Augusta. For both cars and other applications, the oil filters need to be changed regularly to enable it to remain functional.
