When people think of car maintenance, changing the engine’s oil is often one of the first things that comes to mind. What you may not realize is that keeping your engine’s air filter clean and maintained is just as important and can have a bigger day-to-day impact on your engine’s performance. To keep the best performance of your car, check the air filter regularly.
An air filter cleans the air going into your engine, filtering out dust, dirt, debris and particles. Without a clean air filter, those particles and debris would make their way into your engine, rub against metal parts and cause extra wear. Particles and debris as small as a grain of sand can cause damage. If those particles make their way into your engine’s pistons and cylinders, they can result in damage that’s far more expensive than an air filter.

Easily CloggedA clogged car filter will prevent air from passing through, reducing the engine's air intake, which in turn will cause a decrease in engine power and an increase in driving fuel consumption | Engine DamageFilters that are too dirty lead to poor filtration, causing impurities such as dirt, rocks and other nature debris to enter the engine and wear out precision parts. Increased maintenance costs | Frequent ReplacementThe manufacturer’s recommended change interval is based on “normal” driving conditions. If you see a lot of black spots on your filter when you inspect it, it’s time to change it even if you haven’t reached the recommended mileage |
