Air Filters

A fuel smell, performance issues, decreased fuel economy, black exhaust smoke, engine noises and a Check Engine Light are signs you need a new air filter.

Air filter replacement intervals vary by operating conditions. Under normal circumstances, you’ll need to replace the engine air filter every year or 12,000 miles or so. If you’re in dusty or severe conditions, it could be every six months.

If the engine air filter isn’t changed routinely, it will starve the engine of clean air to burn. Along with operating less efficiently, you will have performance issues creep up in time.

If you have noticeable performance or fuel efficiency decreases and/or the Check Engine Light is on, it could be due to a dirty air filter.
