A clean car air filter is a necessity for proper operation of a car. Cars with a clean air filter experience improved gas mileage, better acceleration, increased engine life, lower emission and improved engine performance. A clean car air filter helps to clean the air that is entering the engine and prevents debris from coming into the engine and causing damage. The dirtier the air filter becomes, the harder it is for the air filter to properly filter the debris coming into the intake.

Symptoms of a dirty air filter will vary including: fouled spark plugs, rough idling, and car starting problems. A clean air filter will improve gas mileage by as much as 14% and may increase acceleration up to 11% depending on the make and model of the car. Learning to tell if your car air filter needs cleaning will help you save money in the long run on expensive repairs in the future.
