Air Filters
What Does an Air Filter Do on a Car?
Air filters protect the engine by keeping away debris and other contaminants that may hinder engine performance. It also provides adequate airflow to maintain the correct air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
How Do I Know if My Car Air Filter is Bad?
Clogged filters can lead to various car issues. Here are signs to look out for:
- Idling: You might feel the vehicle idle roughly or stall. The irregular engine sounds or vibrations may be because it is no longer allowing sufficient airflow into the component.
- Misfiring or Weird Noises: If you feel the vehicle hesitate during acceleration or feel a jerking sensation when pressing the accelerator, the component may be clogged.
- Unusual Exhaust Odors: A restricted airflow can affect the engine's combustion process, which leads to unburned fuel coming out of the exhaust system.
- Check Engine Light is On: The Check Engine Light on the dashboard can be triggered by sensors that monitor engine parameters that are out of the normal range.
- Visibly Dirty: If it looks dusty or damaged, it is a clear indication that it needs to be replaced.
When Should I Replace My Car Air Filter?
So how often should you change this part? It depends, and owners should follow the recommended service intervals. Most manufacturers recommend replacing it annually, every 15,000 miles, or if it already looks visibly dirty. You might also want to replace or check up on your oil filters or fuel filters if you haven't already.
