How Often Should Air and Oil Filters Be Replaced?

[AlainaFitz]

In most cases, the oil filter should be replaced approximately every 5,000 kilometers, the air filter every 15,000 kilometers under normal conditions, and the cabin air filter every 20,000 kilometers under normal circumstances. The replacement interval primarily depends on the quality of the oil filter used. If it's a genuine OEM part, it's advisable to follow the requirements specified in the user manual. Relevant information about oil filters is as follows: 1. Function of the oil filter: The oil filter, often referred to as the 'kidney of the engine,' filters out impurities and supplies clean oil to the engine, reducing friction wear and prolonging the engine's lifespan. 2. Replacement intervals for oil filters: For mineral oil, replace every 3,000-4,000 kilometers or every six months; for semi-synthetic oil, replace every 5,000-6,000 kilometers or every six months; for full synthetic oil, replace every eight months or every 8,000-10,000 kilometers.
