How Often Should the Car Engine Air Filter Be Replaced?
1 Answers
It is recommended to replace the engine air filter every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months. Below is some additional information about car engine air filters: 1. Function: During operation, the engine inhales a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, suspended dust particles in the air can enter the cylinders, accelerating wear on the piston assembly and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe "cylinder scoring," especially in dry and sandy working environments. 2. Location: The air filter is installed at the front of the intake pipe, serving to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders.
