Engine Air Filter Replacement

Getting a New Engine Air Filter

The engine air filter is responsible for keeping dust and debris out of your engine. It will allow clean air to pass through it and into your engine when it is working well. While an engine air filter can last for a while, they need to be replaced from time to time. Most drivers will need to replace their engine air filter after driving between 12,000 and 15,000 miles, but more frequent service may be necessary. Usually, your engine air filter will be checked whenever you come in for any other type of service. Replacing the filter is fairly simple and will only require discarding the old filter and then putting in a new one.

When Do I Replace My Air Filter?

The engine air filter does an essential job of protecting your engine. When you replace it on time, and regularly, it can help to keep harmful debris out of your engine. This could ultimately extend the life of your engine and prevent the need for more serious repairs. If you do not replace your filter on time, it could start to do harm. Eventually, it will stop working entirely and could block clean air and no longer prevent debris from getting into your engine. This could make your engine less efficient and cause further damage that will be far more expensive to repair.
