Engine Air Filter Replacement Service

Benefits of Replacing My Engine Air Filter

Did you know that your car requires 10,000 gallons of air for every one gallon of gas it burns while running? The quality of that air matters, too. With a properly functioning engine air filter, your car will run more efficiently, and your car's engine life will be prolonged.

Filtering out dust, dirt, pollen, and other debris, the engine air filter in your car provides a steady flow of clean air to the engine. While you're driving, this filter catches particles of debris, preventing them from blowing into your car's engine. If your filter is old, broken, or clogged up, your engine will not run well.

Replacing the engine air filter on schedule not only aids in better engine performance and longevity, but a new, clean filter also provides reduced emissions and better overall fuel efficiency. All of this means you save money on the cost of running and maintaining your vehicle.

How Often Should I Replace My Engine Air Filter?

So, how do you know when to replace the engine air filter? Keep an eye and an ear out for signs that the filter is not functioning at full capacity. You may notice that your engine sounds rough when you are idling in traffic or at a stop sign. You may feel a jerking or stumbling sensation when you press the accelerator. Poor gas mileage, especially compared to your usual rate, is another indication that you may need to replace your engine air filter.

As a general rule, car manufacturers suggest that you replace the engine air filter in your car once a year, or between every 12,000 and 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. Particular vehicles may have a different range recommendation, so it is wise to check the maintenance schedule for your model. You may also need to change the filter more frequently if you regularly drive in areas of high dust or other debris.
