OEM Air Filters

At minimum, your car has two air filters. The air filter you might be familiar with is the cabin air filter, which ensures the air inside your car is clean. The other air filter is the engine air filter, which performs a crucial function for your car’s operation. Without the engine air filter, the air entering your car’s engine would not be ideal for combustion. A clogged filter would mean inadequate air entering the engine. This would impact your car’s power, performance, and fuel efficiency. In the worst cases, engine damage is possible.

How Often Should I Change the Air Filter in My Car?

The benchmark mileage to replace the engine air filter is at 12,000 to 15,000 miles. To know the recommended interval, check your owner’s manual. With that said, your driving behavior affects the frequency at which you need to replace it. If you tend to drive by construction sites or unpaved roads, expect the air filter to collect dirt faster.

How to Tell if a Car Air Filter Needs Replacing?

A few signs to look out for include:

Slow to start engine or misfiring

Check engine light flashes

Rattle and hiccup noises from engine

Reduced fuel efficiency

Black smoke from exhaust pipe

Jerking motion when accelerating
