There are a couple major filters in your car. The engines air filter, fuel filter and the interior cabin air filter. The interior cabin air filter works much the same as the air filter in your furnace at home. It collects dust and helps to keep dirt from being spread throughout from the heating and air conditioning vents. The same goes for the car vents. So breath dirty air or change the filter every 20K miles and breath filtered air.
The Engine needs clean air for two important reasons, both can save you money in the long run. First off, the engine needs clean or to prevent dirt and debree from entering the internal part of the engine that could cause serious damage to components. Second, the more air that comes through , the better the engine can perform and give you better fuel mileage.
The fuel filter keeps impurities in the gas form entering the fuel lines and preventing the fuel injectors from clogging and allowing the injectors to spray that fine mist that gets you better fuel mileage. |
