Express Engine Air Filter Service
Service is completed without an appointment as quickly as possible, a certified technician will remove your old filter and install a brand new filter of genuine OEM part quality. When you install a new engine air filter, it will trap nearly 100% of all airborne contaminants that threaten your engine. However, engine air filters are made of paper, and every single filter will eventually start to accumulate too much filth to restrict its performance as well as the airflow going into the engine. When this happens, warning signs associated with engine performance will begin showing up. Changing the engine air filter when its physical integrity is compromised is the best strategy in preventing engine problems. You can do this by simply following the maintenance interval outlined in the owner's manual.
Engine Air Filter Pro Tip: Look at it Monthly
It is an excellent strategy to monitor the engine's performance as well as inspect the filter periodically looking for the warning signs of a clogged, faulty, defective, or damaged engine air filter. If the filter appears clogged with filth, you'll need to replace it regardless of mileage left until the maintenance interval.
Warning Signs of a Damaged Engine Air Filter
If you have any of these warning signs, even if it's before the replacement service interval, it is the wisest decision to get it replaced ASAP:
- Filter paper is clogged or otherwise filthy
- Filter paper is damaged, usually ripped or torn
- Engine misfires
- Check engine light is on
- Fuel smell when starting the engine
- Black smoke or flames exiting the tailpipe
- Decreased fuel efficiency
