How Many Filters Are Generally Replaced During Car Maintenance?

Car maintenance generally involves replacing the fuel filter and air filter. Below are the detailed introductions: 1. Fuel Filter: The fuel filter is used to filter the gasoline that is about to participate in combustion, removing impurities from the gasoline to ensure better combustion and improve fuel efficiency. Typically, the service life of a fuel filter is 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, and it needs to be replaced on schedule. If used beyond a certain point, it can affect fuel filtration and lead to a drop in oil pressure. 2. Air Filter: The air filter is responsible for filtering the air entering the engine, removing impurities from the air. If impurities enter the cylinders, they can cause abnormal wear and shorten the engine's lifespan. Generally, the air filter has a service cycle of 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Its lifespan is heavily influenced by driving conditions; if the environment is poor, it may need to be replaced earlier.
