Engine Air Filter Replacement Service

Benefits of Replacing My Engine Air Filter

The mechanical system on your car is complex and contains many different parts, including a small but valuable component called the engine air filter. If the car goes too long between engine air filter changes, you might initially notice a decline in performance. Over time, the benefits of changing an engine air filter as needed are quite significant. Initially, you may find that keeping the engine air filter in good condition improves your car's performance, including enabling smoother gear shifts in the transmission system and giving your vehicle more pick-up and responsiveness. Eventually, replacing the engine air filter as needed will prevent more significant engine damage that can warrant the need for an engine replacement and other costly repairs in the mechanical system. The engine air filter will also increase your vehicle's lifespan by keeping the engine protected from harm. You will also find that replacing the engine air filter means less time and money spent at the gas pump.

How Often Should I Replace My Engine Air Filter?

Individual factors influence how often your car's engine air filter should be changed. The owner's manual provides approximate mileage-based service recommendations. While the general recommendation for engine air filter replacement is between 12,000 and 15,000 miles, the frequency of replacement may vary. This is dependent on your vehicle and driving condition. The manual will also show you the location of the engine air filter. This makes it easy to check the air filter periodically for signs of premature wear or to look for other physical abnormalities such as dark patches or black spots. Any of these conditions indicate that it's time to change the air filter, even if the vehicle hasn't reached the mileage stated in the owner's manual.
