All filters incorporate a filtering device constructed from various materials. These materials can vary from cloth fibers, paper fiber and wire mesh screens or any combination of the three. Most fuel and oil filters are housed within a metal container connected to the engine or fuel system. Most vehicles have one or more filters that require regular maintenance (replacement). These filters range from an air filter, fuel filter, air cabin filter and oil filter. A properly maintained filter system will enhance the performance and extend the life of vehicle. Air filters remove debris from the air before it is allowed into the engine. If dirt where allowed to enter the engine it would cause premature failure.
nspecting the air filter is very simple and typically only involves opening the hood and finding the air filter box that is usually above the battery in the vehicle. Removing the clips that hold the lid of the box will allow you to easy access the air filter. You can quickly inspect the filter to determine if it needs to be changed. Some slight discoloration is acceptable; however an air filter that is dusty or dark should be changed to restore proper airflow to your vehicles engine. Checking the air filter of your engine is a simple process that only takes about five minutes. A fuel filter located in the fuel system ensures that debris in the gas tank is not passed through to the fuel injection system. A clogged fuel filter can cause low power and fuel sediments are the #1 cause of system failure.
