Air Filter Replacement
Determining the precise lifespan of an air filter can be challenging, as it hinges on the volume of debris it encounters. While a filter might endure 20,000 to 30,000 miles on highway-driven vehicles, it could require replacement within a mere month or two in rural environments with dusty gravel roads.
As a general guideline, changing the filter annually or every 15,000 miles is a sound recommendation. However, the best practice is regular inspection, replacing it as necessary. It's crucial to replace the filter before it becomes a significant impediment to airflow. Over time, all filters reach a point where they cause enough pressure drop to hinder airflow, leading to declining fuel economy, diminished performance, and increased emissions.
