    It could because its cold out. Air cleaner is the air filter,$50.00. from the dealer.

    Do you have a air restriction gauge for your air filter? Is the oil consumption up?

    If it is a single under hood filter, it should be changed at least every 6 months depending on your exact application, if it has dual outside air cleaners at least once a year, again depends on your exact application. replacing the air filter is not that expensive compared to replacing the engine.(which is exactly what you will be doing soon) Changing the oil and filters cost about 5-6 times as much replacing the air filters, has it been a year since you've done that too?

    It's just probably because it's cold out.
