Air Filter Replacement

What’s so important about a vehicle’s air filter?

Your vehicle’s intake system is the section that catches the unfiltered air and debris and allows clean air to flow throughout the vehicle. Not only do you need filtered air to breathe in the vehicle, but so do other parts.

In order for your engine, and other parts, to function properly, it needs clean air without any debris or contamination. If your air filter becomes full, it won’t be able to properly filter out foreign matter from reaching your engine.

Air filters are inexpensive compared to other parts, and should be changed regularly.

Are you in need of an auto air filter replacement?

A few warning signs include:

Filter Looks Dirty: If you notice that the filter has turned from white to brown or black, it is time to have your air filter replaced.

Check Engine Light Comes On: If the air filter is left unchecked for some time, your check engine light might come on. This can be a result of debris getting past the filter because the filter is already full.

Fuel Efficiency Decreases: With a clogged air filter, the engine cannot breathe properly. So, you may notice that your vehicle isn’t as fuel efficient as it once was.

Engine Struggles to Start: Along with fuel inefficiency, your engine may also struggle to start up normally. This can also be a result of the lack of proper air flow.

Horsepower Decreases: Lack of air flow due to a clogged air filter can result in the drop in horsepower. This is because the lack of oxygen is a result of contamination.

Abnormal Engine Sounds: You might also hear your engine start to make noises, aside from it’s normal hum. In this case, an engine may start to vibrate, hiccup, or cough as a result of a clogged air filter.

Black Smoke: Due to failing fuel efficiency, your vehicle might begin to produce black smoke from the exhaust pipe. This is due to the engine being unable to burn the fuel off effectively.

Why does it matter?

Having your air filter replaced regularly is one necessary way to keep your vehicle functioning properly.

Changing your air filter allows your engine to breathe properly, which can help to put an end to the strange noises and vibrations the engine makes. A new air filter will also put an end to the black smoke, and return your fuel efficiency.

A new air filter can also prevent further, potential damage to your engine and other parts that a filthy, worn air filter can cause.

change filthy air filter

Having an air filter replacement is important for a number of reasons, including the prevention of damage to connected parts, such as your emissions control system. If you’ve been driving with a filthy air filter for a while, when you have it replaced, ask to have your emissions control system inspected.

It’s also a good idea to have the mechanic inspect your engine and clean the air intake system after the air filter replacement, to catch any early or potential damage. These extra steps can keep you safe and lengthen your vehicle’s lifespan.

Your vehicle’s air filter also has an estimated lifespan before it needs replacing. This lifespan varies depending on your make and model. On average, a vehicle’s air filter should be replaced every two years, or every 24,000 miles.
