Air Filter

The air filter traps dirt particles that can cause damage to engine cylinders and pistons, extending those components life in the process. The air filter also serves as a silencer for your vehicle’s intake system. Your vehicle’s engine can use more than 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel burned, so it’s easy to see how big a job the air filter has.

Your vehicle’s air filter should be changed in regular intervals as specified in your manufacturer’s owners’ manual. A good rule of thumb is to have the air filter visually inspected with every oil change. A vehicle that is regularly driven in unusually dusty or dirty conditions such as an unpaved road or a construction site will require more frequent filter replacements. Driving with a dirty air filter restricts the air entering the engine, and if severe, can impact fuel economy and performance.
