The necessity of air filter maintenance
The current environmental pollution problem is becoming increasingly serious, and the content of inhalable particles in the air is increasing. Once it enters the engine cylinder and piston, it will cause a large amount of gum and wearable particles, causing wear and tear of piston related components, leading to a decrease in engine efficiency.
The main function of an air filter is to filter out impurities in the air to ensure sufficient intake and prevent engine power loss.
Air filter maintenance can easily lead to misunderstandings, and car owners may not pay enough attention to the maintenance of the air filter. When using the air filter, some problems inevitably arise.

Common Mistakes in Air Filter Maintenance
1. Not paying attention to quality when purchasing air filters
Although many car owners nowadays choose 4S stores when replacing their air filters, as car owners gain a deeper understanding of maintenance knowledge, it is also very easy to replace their own air filters. However, whether replacing it at a 4S store or by oneself, it will involve the issue of purchasing a new air filter.
Currently, many car owners have a limited understanding of the role of air filters and often choose air filters that are cheap but of poor quality. Poor quality air filters have poor filtration performance, especially for small suspended particles, and their physical stability is weak. Long term use will inevitably lead to a decrease in engine performance and a significant increase in fuel consumption.

2. Remove the air filter frequently when using it
Some car owners mistakenly believe that the air filter is not very effective. After using a new car for a period of time, they find that the air filter is completely blocked. At this point, they simply remove the air filter without replacing it. It may not affect the performance of the engine in a short period of time, but in the long run, it can cause severe engine wear. There is data indicating that without an air filter, the wear rate of engine cylinders will exceed 8 times, the wear rate of pistons will exceed 3 times, and the wear rate of piston rings will exceed 9 times. It can be seen that the impact of air filters is significant.

3. The maintenance of the air filter is very stiff and not flexible enough
Most car owners also know the importance of replacing the air filter, but when replacing the air filter, they are limited by the vehicle maintenance operation manual and follow the mileage provided in the guide to replace the air filter. However, the current level of pollution in cities varies, and the corresponding number of particles also varies. If it is in heavily polluted northern cities, the replacement and maintenance of air filters cannot be simply carried out according to the instructions. It is necessary to shorten the maintenance cycle and improve the quality of air filters according to the situation. This is the correct way to maintain.

Air filter is one of the most core components in the basic four filters of automobiles. When purchasing an air filter, it is necessary to choose a genuine high-quality air filter. At the same time, targeted maintenance must be carried out according to the vehicle's usage environment during use to ensure engine performance.
