Fortunately, an engine air filter change is a simple process that can conveniently be done when you come in for your routine oil changes.

Importance of Replacing Your Engine Air Filter

Your engine can suffer in numerous ways if you continue to drive your vehicle with an old, clogged engine filter in place. The engine air filter is responsible for ensuring that only clean air gets into the engine. When contaminated air gets into the engine, you could experience reduced gas mileage. Another thing that can happen is that mechanical components within the engine could wear out more quickly than they should. Eventually, you might have trouble starting up your vehicle because a dirty air filter in your engine can create ignition problems.

When Do You Need to Change Your Engine Air Filter?

How frequently you need to schedule engine air filter replacement depends on a few different factors. These include what vehicle model you drive and the conditions you generally drive in. You should consult your vehicle owner's manual or discuss the issue with your mechanic if you're wondering how often you need this service. You might want to have your air filter changed as frequently as once every 12,000 miles.
