Cleans the air going into the engine. They should be changed every other oil change, unless you dive in a lot of dusty conditions, then every oil change. If you drive around with a dirty or clogged filter you wont be getting enough air to the motor. This will result in poor fuel mileage. And later on down the road more costly problems.

Your air filter needs to be changed every 12,000 miles or


sooner if you drive in dusty conditions.

Reply:An air filter removes the dirt and dust that would otherwise


get sucked into your engine if it never had one.Dirt and Dust


are not good for an engine and constant exposure without the


filter will lead to engine failure eventually.





There are 2 types of air filters on the market.There is the


standard type you can get from car accessory shops or


the performance ones.The standard ones are throw away


after a certain mileage {consult owners manual) The


performance ones are washable but need to be re oiled


using the correct oil but will last for many years and increase


the performance of your car by 2-10 horse power depending


on what you drive.
