3 Benefits of Replacing Your Air Filters
- Increased fuel efficiency
Replacing a clogged air filter can increase fuel efficiency and improve acceleration, depending on your vehicle make and model. When you realize that, it makes sense to regularly replace your air filters.
A dirty or damaged air filter limits the amount of air flowing into your vehicle’s engine, making it work harder and, therefore, using more fuel. As your engine needs more than 10,000 liters of oxygen to burn every liter of fuel, it’s important not to restrict this air flow.
- Reduced emissions
Dirty or damaged air filters reduce the air flow to the engine, changing your vehicle’s air-fuel balance. This imbalance can pollute spark plugs, causing the engine to miss or rough idle; increase engine depositions; and cause the ‘Service Engine’ light to turn on. More importantly, the imbalance also has a direct impact on your vehicle’s exhaust emissions, contributing to the pollution of your surrounding environment.
- Prolongs engine life
A particle as small as a grain of salt can get through a damaged air filter and do a lot of damage to internal engine parts, such as cylinders and pistons, which can be very expensive to repair. That’s why regularly replacing your air filter is so important. A clean air filter is designed to capture dirt and debris from the outside air, preventing them from reaching the combustion chamber and reducing the likelihood of you receiving a large repair bill.
