Among the millions of components in a car, the air filter is a very inconspicuous component because it is not directly related to the technical performance of the car. However, in the actual use of the car, the air filter has a great impact on the service life of the car.
An air filter is a device that purifies air, consisting mainly of a filter element and a casing. The filter element is the main filtering part responsible for gas filtration, while the casing is the external structure that provides necessary protection for the filter element.
On the one hand, without the filtering effect of the air filter, the engine will inhale a large amount of air containing dust and particles, leading to severe wear and tear of the engine cylinders; On the other hand, if maintenance is not carried out for a long time during use, the filter element of the air filter will become full of dust in the air, which not only reduces the filtering ability, but also hinders the flow of air, resulting in a rich mixture and abnormal engine operation. Therefore, regular maintenance of the air filter is crucial.
The replacement steps for car air filters are as follows:
1. Open the engine compartment cover and confirm the position of the air filter;
2. By breaking the two clips that secure the box cover, the entire air filter box cover can be lifted. Attention: Some car models may install screws on the box cover to fix it, and a screwdriver should be used to unscrew the screws;
3. Open the cover of the air filter box and remove the old air filter;
4. Install a new air filter, cover the box cover, and fasten the clip, and you are done.
