An air filter is a critical component of a vehicle’s engine air intake system. Here’s a short description:

The air filter is a replaceable filter element typically made of paper, foam, or fabric housed in a plastic or metal casing. Its primary function is to capture and filter out dust, dirt, debris, pollen, and other contaminants from the air before it enters the engine’s combustion chamber.

By removing impurities from the incoming air, the air filter helps prevent damage to engine components, such as cylinders, pistons, and valves, by reducing wear and tear caused by abrasive particles.

Regular inspection and replacement of the air filter are essential maintenance tasks to ensure optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, leading to reduced power, decreased fuel efficiency, and potential engine damage over time.
