Engine Air Filter Replacement Service

Why You Should Replace Your Engine Air Filter

Properly caring for your car, truck, SUV, or minivan requires that you keep up with your vehicle's maintenance schedule. The engine air filter does a lot for the performance of your car, so making sure that you replace it during the manufacturer's recommended intervals is key to keeping that performance level to the standard you've come to expect. The service center at Joe Myers Toyota in Houston, TX, is here to let you know why you should replace your engine air filter and what we can do to assist you.

Benefits of Replacing My Engine Air Filter

It's likely that you love the way your car, truck, SUV, or minivan drives. The engine air filter plays a part in maintaining that performance level you've grown to love. Some of the benefits of replacing your engine air filter include:

Better Fuel Economy — If you've noticed that you're spending more money at the gas station than usual, the culprit might be the engine air filter. A filthy engine air filter will sap the airflow to the engine, leading to decreased performance and efficiency.

Decreased Emissions — Is your car's idling kind of rough? If this is the case, you may need an engine air filter replacement. Replacing your engine air filter will lead to increased airflow and a better air/fuel mixture. This means your car will run better.

How Often Should I Replace My Engine Air Filter?

Some drivers may wonder how often they should replace their engine air filter. The answer to that question can vary greatly based on the year, make, and model of your vehicle. It can also depend on if your driving conditions are especially dusty or dirty. Many expert mechanics will tell you every three years or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. If your car idles rough, you see black smoke coming from the tailpipe, or you have a check engine light illuminated, it may signal the need for a new engine air filter.
