What Is an Engine Air Filter?
An engine air filter is a component found near the engine in a box. It comes in different shapes, such as round or rectangular. In some vehicles, the filter is easy to access while it may be more challenging to reach in other models. The filter prevents contaminants in the air from getting into the engine. It keeps out dust, dirt, and grime. As it traps those contaminants, the filter gets dirtier and becomes less effective. You’ll need to have it changed regularly. Most manufacturers recommend changing the engine air filter between 12,000 and 15,000 miles. You can check the owner’s manual for your vehicle for exact specifications.
How to Know When to Replace the Engine Air Filter
If you don’t remember when the air filter was changed, you can look for signs that it’s time for a replacement.
- The most obvious sign is if your engine air filter is dirty, which indicates it needs to be replaced.
- If your vehicle takes longer than normal to accelerate, it may be that the filter isn’t allowing enough air through.
- When the filter doesn’t allow air to get through, it can lead to ignition problems and poor performance.
A dirty engine air filter can lead to long-term issues. It can prevent your engine from working as it should, which means lower fuel economy. Over time, the added wear and tear on the engine can lead to major damage, which is rather costly.
