Engine Air Filter Replacement Service

What is an Engine Air Filter

An engine air filter is the first line of defense when it comes to protecting your engine against debris and mess from the outside. The engine air filter was designed to capture dirt, dust, and debris to prevent it from entering your engine and engine oil. It also is what allows your engine to ‘breathe’ and release heat, to keep the engine itself from overheating. When your engine air filter becomes too dirty, your engine has a difficult time breathing, causing it to work harder and eventually damage it.

Benefits of a Clean Engine Air Filter

When it comes to keeping your engine healthy and running smoothly, simple things like keeping the air filter can go a long way. By keeping the engine air filter clean, you are helping the engine run smoother without making it work harder to stay at a level temperature. A clean air filter is able to capture debris and prevent it from making its way to the engine, causing buildup.

When to Replace the Engine Air Filter

The good thing is that not only is your engine air filter a cheap and easy way to keep your engine running smoothly, but it is also low maintenance. Most drivers only need to change their engine air filter about once every 30,000 miles. This may vary though the type of environment and terrain you find yourself regularly driving in.
