The role of the air filter

Air filter function: The air filter is installed at the intake port of the engine. It can effectively filter the dust and impurities in the air, so that the purity of the air entering the combustion chamber is greatly increased, thereby ensuring sufficient fuel combustion. The air filter generally uses a paper filter element, but can it be cleaned repeatedly? In fact, the air filter can be cleaned repeatedly.

Precautions when cleaning

But pay attention when cleaning: do not wash with water or oil, you should use the dab method and the blowing method. The tap method is to tap the end face of the filter element lightly to make the dust fall off. The purging method is to use the compressed air filter to blow out the inside, but the number of cleanings is limited, because the ability of the air filter to filter air will decrease over time. In this case, the air filter should be replaced.

Replacement time

It depends on the surrounding air environment where the vehicle is used. If it is a city with a better air environment, there is no problem in replacing it every year. If it is an industrial area, the pollution is serious, and the filter element is more likely to be dirty.
Then it is recommended to shorten the replacement cycle, which can be replaced in about 8 months. The replacement cycle of the air filter is basically the same, regardless of the model, but only related to the degree of environmental pollution.
