What is the purpose of the Engine Air Filter?

The engine air filter is a paper composite filter that traps airborne debris from the air before it goes into the engine. It ensures that the cleanest air possible is used for fuel induction and prevents things like dust, sand, soot, road tar, and dead insects from getting inside the engine where they will wreak havoc on engine performance, fuel efficiency, and can cause damage. New engine filters will also support efficient power production and prevent the damage caused by airborne debris penetrating the fuel induction system.

How Often Should I Replace the Engine Filter?

Neither auto brands nor famous battery manufacturers recommend a specific replacement interval for batteries. Still, we do know that they will last about five years at peak performance in favorable conditions. The problem is that Wisconsin has sub-zero temperature winters and humid summers proven to decrease the life of the average battery. It is important when you live in Wisconsin to get the batter inspected, including electrical testing. Replacement is needed when it fails an inspection to prevent the hassles of a dead battery and immobilized vehicle.

 

What are the Warning Signs of a Faulty Battery?

Nissan recommends replacing the engine air filter every year or 15,000 miles, whichever arrives first. We also recommend knowing the warning signs of poor engine air filtration, as this can allow for a swift replacement that prevents performance issues and damage.

 

What are the Warning Signs of a Faulty Engine Filter?
