Importance of air filter maintenance
A clean engine runs more efficiently than a dirty engine and your car’s/trucks air filter is the engine’s first line of defense. A new air filter allows your vehicle’s engine to get clean air, a key component in the combustion process. The air filter prevents airborne contaminants such as dirt, dust and leaves from getting pulled into your car’s engine and potentially damaging it.
How often should I have my air filter replaced?
Vehicle manufacturers vary on their recommendations for how often air filters should be replaced. Many recommend changing it every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Checking your owner’s manual will give you the specific mileage for your vehicle. You can also consult your local mechanic for a recommendation based on your driving habits.
Driving conditions and climate can affect the lifespan of an air filter. If you often drive on dirt roads, do a lot of stop and start driving or live in a dusty and dry climate, you might need to change your air filter more often. To keep track of when to change the air filter, many people rely on a visual inspection to help determine when to replace it.
What if I delay changing my air filter?
Putting off your air filter change can lead to problems with your engine. You might notice a decrease in gas mileage resulting in more trips to the gas station. As a result, if your engine doesn’t get the required amount of clean air, it won’t perform properly. Reducing air flow can lead to fouled spark plugs which can create engine misses, rough idling and starting problems. Long story short, do not delay replacing your air filter
