Benefits of Replacing My Engine Air Filter
You may not think of your car's engine air filter until something goes wrong. In fact, you might not even know that it's there! The air filter in the engine is designed to keep the engine running at its best. The engine air filter plays several vital roles in the health of your engine and your vehicle's mechanical system in general. The air filter is designed to stop small particles of debris, such as dirt or pollen, before they reach the engine. This allows clean, fresh air to circulate through the engine while keeping contaminated air out. The engine air filter is an essential component, as contaminated air can cause severe damage to your engine by allowing debris into the fuel lines and the mechanical system. Maintaining sufficient airflow also makes the engine operate more efficiently and maximizes your vehicle's fuel efficiency. Ultimately, a working engine air filter prevents premature engine problems and expensive repairs.
How Often Should I Replace My Engine Air Filter?
Checking the air filter's physical condition gives you some clues as to whether or not it needs to be changed. The air filter should be a uniform color and free of dark spots. If you notice black marks on the filter, it is time to install a new one. Additionally, you should also check the owner's manual for your car to check for mileage-based service recommendations. Even if the air filter looks like it's in good condition, you should have it replaced at the next service mark. For some vehicles, this happens every 15,000 miles. Other cars might last 30,000 to 45,000 miles before their filters need to be changed. It's important to follow the schedule recommended by the vehicle's manufacturer, as that will ensure your engine's optimal health.
