Introduction
Air filters protect your engine from contaminants, letting it breathe easier. Changing your air filter helps enhance performance and efficiency as well as extend your engine’s life.
If you drive on dirty or dusty roads or notice a drop in performance or gas mileage you may need to replace it more often. Changing your air filter is one of the simplest and least expensive maintenance projects you can undertake.
