Know When to Replace Your Filter

One issue that can cause wear and tear on your engine is dust, grime and dirt that can get into your engine. If car owners find their vehicle is sluggish, or have reduced gas mileage, is one indicator that you may need air filtration services. The air filter screens those particles that find its way to the cylinder walls of the car engine. One thing to look out for is dirt and dark soot on the air filter. The best time to check this is when changing the oil of the vehicle.

The air filter screens out harmful dirt and grime that would otherwise find its way into the engine. This grit can and does cause internal engine wear. It can score cylinder walls and stick to close-tolerance mating surfaces, and cause bearing and lubricating surface wear. Carmakers suggest keeping a close eye on the air filter; hence their recommendation of aggressive inspection every 6,000 miles.
