Everything You Need to Know About Replacing Your Car's Engine Air Filter

By changing your vehicle's engine air filter at the right time, you will be sure that it is in good condition and protected from harmful particles. All engines require constant air supply, and they can only get it if the air filter is in the right condition. Below is a rundown of what you need to know about replacing your vehicle's engine air filter.

Functions of an Engine Air Filter

As your body requires clean air to stay healthy, your vehicle's engine needs air to run correctly. The primary purpose of the air filter is to remove dirt, debris, and other pollutants from the air before it enters your engine. If the air filter on your vehicle is old or damaged, it will allow the contaminants to reach the engine, damaging the fuel channels, the radiator, and other essential engine parts. Moreover, a non-functional filter decreases the engine's efficiency, and it might damage the engine.

Benefits of Replacing My Engine Air Filter

With a new air filter, you will enjoy many benefits, such as reduced fuel consumption, improved engine performance for reliability and dependability, and increased acceleration.

When to Change Your Engine Air Filter

The make and model of your vehicle will determine the number of times you will replace the air filter in a year. However, most vehicle manufacturers recommend the replacement after every 15,000 – 35,000 miles.

People who drive on bad roads, heavy traffic, hot weather, and dusty roads have to replace the filter before the recommended period ends. Some filters will last for only one to two years. So, consult your mechanic to know whether it is the time to replace yours. A quality air filter will last for over three years.
