BENEFITS OF REPLACING MY ENGINE AIR FILTER

 

Changing your air filter on a regular basis can benefit your vehicle's engine and its general performance. An air filter traps dirt and debris that flies to the engine, allowing it to maintain proper functionality. Dust and debris can damage the engine, resulting in decreased engine life and significant repair or replacement costs. Changing your air filter regularly can, therefore, help to prolong your engine's life.

Additionally, replacing your vehicle's air filter allows the engine to maintain a proper air-fuel mixture. It ensures that the emission system functions appropriately. It can, therefore, lower your vehicle's overall emission. Regular air filter replacement can also aid in increasing the fuel efficiency of your car. It increases fuel mileage and the drivability of your car and its acceleration in some models.

WHEN TO CHANGE YOUR ENGINE AIR FILTER

One of the best ways to determine the period after which you should replace your engine's air filter is by referencing the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. This is because the duration may vary, depending on the model and make of your car. However, technicians recommend a general period of a year or after every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. People who drive in a dusty or smoky environment should consider reducing this duration.

If your air filter is damaged, consider replacing it immediately. You can also find out if it's time to replace your air filter by merely checking on it. In most cases, it is located in a plastic box at the top of the engine and is easy to identify. Open the snapping clasps that usually hold it to and check on the color of the filter. If it looks brown or grey or has visible debris and dirt on it, it might be time for a replacement. Certain performance challenges on your vehicle, such as stumbles on acceleration or rough idling, also indicate a dirty or faulty air filter.
