Air Filters

Your car's air filter plays an important role in protecting your engine by catching harmful airborne contaminants before they can enter. Over time, however, the filter will become clogged with dirt and debris, which can restrict air flow and potentially damage your engine. That's why it's important to check your air filter regularly and replace it when necessary. But how can you tell when it's time for a replacement? Here are four signs to watch out for:

1. Reduced fuel efficiency. If your car's air filter is clogged, it will have to work harder to draw air into the engine. This can lead to reduced fuel efficiency as your engine burns more fuel to compensate.

2. Engine misfires. A dirty air filter can also cause engine misfires by restricting air flow to the spark plugs.

3. Loud engine noise. An unrestricted engine will run smoother and quieter than one that is restricted by a dirty air filter. If you notice an increase in engine noise, it could be time for a new filter.

4. Dirty or oily mass airflow sensor (MAFS). The MAFS measures the amount of clean air entering the engine so that the computer can adjust the fuel mixture accordingly. If the MAFS becomes coated with dirt and debris from a clogged filter, it may give false readings that result in an overly rich fuel mixture and decreased performance.
