What happens if the air filter is not replaced?

[StAdalynn]

The air filter plays a role in filtering out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. If it is not replaced for a long time, the air filter cannot effectively remove suspended particles from the air, leading to accelerated engine wear and carbon buildup, shortening the engine's lifespan. In severe cases, it may even cause "cylinder scoring." Steps to replace the air filter: 1. Loosen the filter lock and remove the fixing nut. 2. After removing the cover, you can see the air filter. If there is dirt inside or outside the filter housing, wipe it clean with a cloth first. 3. Install a new filter. However, be careful not to touch the paper part of the filter with your hands, especially avoiding contamination by oil. 4. Reassemble the parts in the reverse order of disassembly.
