3 Signs Your Engine Air Filter Requires Replacement

1. Reduced Engine Performance & Efficiency

A common sign of a dirty air filter is reduced engine performance, which can be felt through less responsive throttle input, and you will notice fuel efficiency suffer as well. The dirtier and more clogged the filter gets, the more severe these symptoms will become until it starts starving the engine of air to run properly.

 

 

2. No Records of Previous Replacement

Another sign that your engine air filter is due for replacement is if you can’t remember the previous time you had it replaced. It’s good practice to keep maintenance records, such as when the last time an engine air filter was replaced. If you bought a used vehicle and it has no records, it’s best to have the filter checked and replaced if needed.

 

3. Smell of Fuel in Exhaust

When an engine air filter starts to clog airflow to the engine, it will cause the composition cycle to run less efficiently as there isn’t enough air to provide clean fuel burn. When that happens, the exhaust will begin to smell “rich” or like fuel, indicating that the engine is starved of air, which can foul spark plugs and cause various problems if left unaddressed.
