Benefits of Replacing My Engine Air Filter
There are many possible explanations when your car's engine performance starts to suffer, including issues with the engine air filter. The engine air filter is designed to capture dirt, debris, and contaminants before they reach the engine, fuel lines, and other vulnerable parts in the mechanical system. Changing the air filter regularly protects your engine from tremendous damage and even extends the lifespan of your car. The engine air filter can keep harmful contaminants out of the engine, which can otherwise strain the engine and cause it to wear out prematurely. By preventing the fuel lines from getting choked with debris, the engine air filter can improve your car's fuel efficiency by 10% or even more. Ultimately, replacing the engine air filter as needed saves money and minimizes expensive car repairs.
How Often Should I Replace My Engine Air Filter?
There are several ways to tell when it's time to replace the engine air filter. One is by inspecting its physical condition. The engine air filter will need to be replaced if the surface looks like it's covered in debris or if you see dark patches in areas where the air should be entering. If you notice debris on the inside layer of the engine air filter, it should be replaced right away.
Additionally, your owner's manual provides a service schedule for changing the engine air filter. The engine air filter may need to be replaced between 10,000 and 50,000 depending on the car. Other factors that may influence the engine air filter's replacement schedule are exposure to dirt and dust, which can quickly accumulate on the surface of the engine air filter. Driving in heavy traffic, which strains the engine, can expedite the need to replace the engine air filter.
