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.
2. Remove the screws or buckles that fix the air filter box.
3. Take out the old air filter and clean the dust in the filter box.
4. Install the new air filter and ensure that it is well sealed.
5. Reinstall the air filter box and close the engine hood.
Note:
During the replacement process, make sure to use a genuine air filter that matches the vehicle model.
Be careful not to damage the filter element when replacing it, and avoid contamination of the filter element by oil or other impurities.
Check whether the seal of the air filter box is intact. If it is damaged, it should be replaced in time.
Please check and replace the air filter regularly according to your vehicle usage and environmental conditions, combined with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer, to ensure the best performance of the engine and extend its service life. If you are not sure how to do it, it is recommended to consult a professional auto repair technician.

Ceramic brake pads are friction materials mainly made of mineral fiber, aramid fiber and ceramic fiber.
Ceramic brake pads were originally developed by Japanese brake pad companies in the 1990s. Gradually becoming the new favorite in the brake pad market. A typical representative of ceramic-based friction materials is C/C-SiC composite materials, which are C/SiC composite materials with carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix. Researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the German Aerospace Research Institute in Germany have studied the application of C/C-SiC composite materials in the field of friction, and developed C/C-SiC brake pads for use in Porsche cars. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States The laboratory is cooperating with Honeywell Advanced composites, Honeywell Aireratf Lnading Systems, and Honeywell CommercialVehicle systems to develop low-cost C/SiC composite brake pads to replace cast iron and cast steel brake pads for trucks.
