Engine Air Filters
Engine air filters play an outstandingly important role in keeping your engine clean and free of debris and other contaminants that can damage components that it protects. Air filters come in a range of shapes and sizes depending on your engine type and vehicle make and model. Air filters are generally a cheaper component of the vehicle and can be inspected and replaced in regular time intervals to make sure that it is functioning properly.
Identifying A Dirty Air Filter
Identifying a dirty air filter begins at regular inspections during regular maintenance of your vehicle such as an oil change. Some vehicles such as larger trucks or commercial vehicles may have an air filter indicator light, but often can be easily seen with visual signs such as dirt or dust on the surface. You can do more in-depth tests at home, that involves holding the filter itself up to bright light and determining how much light passes through at least half of the filter. For the most part, each vehicle manufacturer will have guidelines on how long an air filter can remain safely functional, but regular inspections are the best way to determine if your air filter is still in working condition.
Importance of Replacing Air Filters
Keeping a clean engine air filter is essential to the life and overall function of your vehicle, and there are a ton of warning signs of a dirty air filter.
