What damage might have been done by our last mechanic NOT replacing the air filter after servicing our Ford Focus wagon? We didn't find out until taking it in for an oil change 3000-4000 miles later! Is there something they could do to "clean up" any damage to the engine this may have caused - or IS there any "clean up" work that could be done?
