Air Filters

Air filters play a critical role in your engine's performance. Oxygen and gas in your tank are what fuel your engine during the combustion process. The intake in your car sucks air into your engine so that the gasoline can combust and power your vehicle. The outside air is not clean, however. It is often filled with dust, dirt, smog and other pollutants. Your air filter helps to protect the engine in your vehicle. You want to keep your engine running smoothly and by replacing your air filter, you are able to do this. Not only does the air filter keep your engine clean, it can also improve your vehicle's overall gas mileage by allowing your engine to run more efficiently. Not changing your air filter when recommended can cause problems. If your air filter becomes dirty or clogged your engine can not suck enough air into your combustion chamber. This can cause your vehicle to run roughly, possibly causing engine problems over time. At the very least, a clogged filter can cause decreased fuel efficiency. Be sure to change your air filters regularly. Your vehicle manual is a good resource for knowing when to change yours. When purchasing replacement air filters, make sure you are getting OEM parts.
