Frequently asked questions
How often should I replace my air filter?
Most vehicles need a new air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but dusty driving conditions can mean sooner. Your mechanic can check it and recommend the right interval.
What happens if I don't change a dirty air filter?
A clogged filter restricts airflow, which can reduce power, lower fuel economy, and let dirt reach the engine. Replacing it on schedule keeps your engine running clean and efficient.
Is replacing the air filter expensive?
No, it's one of the most affordable services. The filter itself is inexpensive and the job is quick, making it an easy way to keep your engine healthy.
