Where is the air filter located in a car?

[DiAthena]

Air filter is located on the right side of the car's engine compartment, specifically above the right front wheel. It is a black square plastic box connected by a thick rubber hose about the size of an arm. The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe, serving to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders. The air filter is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge or air cleaner. It is primarily used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operation rooms. During operation, the engine needs to intake a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust particles in the air will be drawn into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston assembly and cylinders.
