The engine air filter is an unsung hero of car operation. Without it, your engine would be in poor shape fast and would have to go through expensive cleaning, maintenance, and even possibly repairs or replacement. The engine air filter can pick up all sorts of particles and dirt from the outside air, and you’ll see a difference when you take a look, what once was pure white can turn dark grey after thousands of miles of use. This can severely impede combustion, which is vital to your car’s basic operation, so we here at Bill Jacobs MINI want to help.
It might seem strange that your engine needs air, but the truth is that combustion, the process of releasing energy from fuels, requires oxygen in order to even happen. Since your engine harnesses the energy of combustion to power your car, it needs good, clean supplies of air so that other particles don’t get burnt and leave a residue. If your engine’s air filter needs replacing, you might notice poor gas mileage or trouble starting, so you should check it, or let us check it for you.
Most cars have a recommended interval of mileage, after which you should replace the engine air filter, usually around every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. However, you can visually inspect your own engine air filter and see if it’s closer to the clean white it had when it was new or an older grey. If you’re not sure, Bill Jacobs MINI is here for you, we’ll check your engine air filter and help you know what’s best for your car.
