How Often Should a Truck's Air Filter Be Replaced?

[VonCamilla]

Truck air filters generally need to be replaced every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Below are the consequences of a dirty air filter: 1. Increased Fuel Consumption: If the air filter is severely dirty, it will restrict airflow, leading to sluggish acceleration. Insufficient oxygen can also cause incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, reducing engine power and requiring more fuel supply, which increases fuel consumption. In severe cases, the exhaust may emit thick, foul-smelling smoke. 2. Impact on Health: After prolonged use, the air conditioning system accumulates impurities, dust, and bacteria. These contaminants are blown directly into the cabin, deteriorating the air quality inside the vehicle and affecting the health of the driver and passengers.
