How Often Should the Air Filter of a Truck Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The air filter of a truck should be replaced every 15,000 kilometers or once a year. The air filter is used to filter the air entering the engine, removing dust and particulate matter from the air, ensuring that the cylinders receive sufficient clean and dry air. Below is more information about the air filter: 1. In areas with poor air quality or high levels of wind and dust, the lifespan of the air filter may be shorter due to increased filtration pressure. If the air filter is dirty enough to require replacement, continued use will definitely affect the intake system. Poor air intake or the introduction of large amounts of impurities can impact the vehicle's normal starting, engine power output, and increase fuel consumption. Moreover, long-term failure to replace the air filter in areas with poor air quality may even lead to cylinder scoring. 2. The car air filter is generally located under the hood, on the side of the engine, installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe, connected by pipes. Open the hood and locate the air filter box. Some filter box covers are secured with screws and can be removed with a screwdriver. Others are fixed with clips and can be opened directly. Remove the old air filter, clean the filter box, and wipe the inside and outside of the filter box with a clean cloth. Install the new air filter in its original position, paying attention to the correct orientation of the filter, then reattach the filter box cover.
