When to replace car air filter？

[CALEPH Auto Parts]

The car air filter is an important part of the engine intake system. Its main function is to filter out dust and impurities in the air entering the engine to protect the normal operation of the engine. Regular inspection and replacement of air filters is essential to maintain vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.

When to replace the car air filter?
Generally speaking, the recommended replacement cycle of the air filter is 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, but this cycle varies according to the vehicle's use environment and driving conditions. If you often drive in dusty or poor air quality environments, you may need to replace it more frequently. For example, in areas with heavy sand and dust, it may need to be cleaned every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, while in severely polluted environments, it may need to be checked every 3,000 kilometers. If the air filter is blocked, the indicator light alarm should also be replaced immediately.

How to check the air filter?

1. Open the engine hood and find the location of the air filter.
2. Check whether there is dust accumulation on the outside of the air filter.
3. Gently tap or use compressed air to blow the filter element from the inside to the outside to remove dust.
4. If the filter element is black or damaged, or if there is too much dust after beating, it is recommended to replace it.
Steps to replace the air filter:

1. Determine the location of the air filter and open the engine hood.
