What are the consequences of not changing the truck air filter for a long time?

[VanCole]

Truck air filters that are not changed for a long time will clog the intake tract, affecting the engine's air intake, resulting in sluggish acceleration and increased fuel consumption. Below is relevant information about air filters: Consequences of not changing the air filter for a long time: Many impurities in the air enter and burn together with gasoline, causing incomplete combustion. These impurities deposit and accumulate, forming carbon deposits, leading to insufficient vehicle power and increased fuel consumption, thus entering such a vicious cycle. Function of the air filter: The air filter can block dust and road dirt from entering the engine. These hard particles can cause internal engine wear, scratch cylinder surfaces, adhere to tightly fitted parts, and cause surface wear on exposed and lubricated components.
