Ignoring Service For Your Engine Air Filter

Though you might be tempted to ignore your vehicle's engine air filter, doing so is a mistake. If the engine air filter accumulates an abundance of dirt or dust, it must be replaced on time. Let us analyze your engine air filter, determine if it needs to be replaced and we will get the job done right on the first try. In general, cars can go about 15,000 miles before the engine air filter has to be replaced. This mileage interval is right around the time when enough bugs, dirt, and debris build-up to the point that necessitates replacement. Fail to replace the engine air filter and the internal air in your vehicle will be compromised to the point that functionality is hindered. It is even possible the failure to replace the filter will cause significant engine damage due to engine cylinder exposure to dust, dirt, and debris. In fact, pieces of debris might even be sucked directly into the engine, creating a large hole within the filter, ultimately shortening the engine lifespan.

The Proper Frequency for Engine Air Filter Replacement

The mileage markers that indicate it is time to check the engine air filter and potentially replace it differ according to each unique vehicle. In general, it makes sense to check the engine air filter every 15,000 miles. However, some vehicles can go as long as 30,000 miles before engine air filter replacement. If you have encountered severe driving conditions, it is better to be safe as opposed to sorry. Bring your vehicle to Chapman Nissan in Philadelphia every 15,000 miles and you will rest easy knowing your engine air filter is replaced as appropriate.
