Air Filters

AIR FILTERS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• How often should I replace my air filter?

  Regular replacement is typically recommended every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, but check your vehicle's manual for specific guidelines. Factors such as driving conditions and air quality can influence the frequency of replacement.

• What happens if I don't replace my engine air filter?

  A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, leading to reduced fuel efficiency, diminished engine performance, and potential damage to engine components over time. Regular replacement ensures optimal air intake for combustion.

• How can I tell if my engine air filter needs replacement?

  Signs of a clogged or dirty air filter include reduced acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency, a rough idle, or the presence of dirt and debris on the filter itself during inspection. Regular visual checks can help identify the need for replacement.

• What's the difference between a standard and a high-performance engine air filter?

  High performance filters use a different type of media (i.e., paper) and are sometimes reinforced differently than conventional air filters. The media used is more porous. This is what increases air flow to the engine resulting in higher horsepower. Normally, a high performance filter will last longer because it is filtering out less harmful elements.
