How Often Should the Filter Be Replaced?

Generally speaking, the air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, but if there are special circumstances, it should be replaced in time according to the cleanliness of the filter. The oil filter is replaced every time the oil is changed, which is every 5,000 kilometers. More information about car filters is as follows: 1. The fuel filter, also known as the gasoline filter, is a type of fuel filter that filters fuel impurities, provides clean fuel to the engine, and is an important automotive component that protects the engine and fuel supply system. 2. During the production, storage, transportation, and use of gasoline, certain impurities such as iron oxide and dust are inevitably produced, or the fuel quality of some gas stations is inherently poor and contains a large number of impurities. If these impurities are not filtered out and are brought into the engine and fuel supply system, they may damage the cylinder or cause the fuel injector to clog. This requires the fuel filter to filter out impurities and ensure the normal operation of the vehicle.
I've been driving for quite a few years and have changed filters several times. I feel the replacement frequency really depends on actual conditions. Generally, it's recommended to check every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers. If you often drive in dusty areas or urban congested roads, you might need to change it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Coming from the countryside, I've driven old trucks on dirt roads where we had to change filters almost monthly because the filter elements clogged so quickly - you could even hear the engine sounding off. Replacing filters protects the engine from impurities and improves fuel efficiency, saving you some gas money. Remember to regularly pop the hood and check - if the filter looks dirty, change it immediately. Don't wait for problems to arise, as repairs will cost you much more.
