Chevrolet Engine Air Filter Replacement
Engine Air Filters: What They Do..
Your Chevrolet Engine Air Filter stops airborne contaminants from getting sucked into your engine. The engine air filter is made of paper and is designed to stop airborne particulates such as dust, pollen, and bugs before they get inside the engine and cause damage. A clogged air filter prevents the engine from breathing properly. At Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing, we always recommend changing the engine air filter once a year or when recommended in your Owner's Manual. Just like a Cabin Air Filter Replacement Service it is important to remember that it is okay to change it more often if you drive in dirty or dusty environments like on unpaved roads.
Symptoms of a Dirty Engine Air Filter:
As you add more miles onto your vehicle, your engine's air filter is destined to become clogged with debris. The best way to ensure that your engine is running with the cleanest air possible is to receive Air Filter Replacement Service at the recommended intervals or even sooner if you drive in dusty environments. There are several symptoms that signal a need for engine air filter replacement service:
- Engine misfire
- Check Engine Light is on
- Gasoline smell when starting the vehicle
- Reduced horsepower
- The air filter is dirty
- Unusual engine noises
Consequences of a Clogged Engine Air Filter
If your air filter gets too dirty or clogged, your engine won't be able to get enough air into the combustion chambers. The engine will then run with an overly rich air-fuel mixture (too much gas and not enough air). If this happens, your car will lose power and will likely have a rough idle. Your Check Engine light might come on as well. If you neglect a dirty air filter for a long time, your car might stop running altogether and leave you stranded.
