When to Replace the Air Filter?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Air filter

A clogged air filter can cause significant damage to your vehicle. Although it may not seem like it, the air filter has a tough job of keeping the air inside the engine clean by trapping debris and dust. But when should you replace it? The filter must be replaced when there is damage to the filter structure, damage to the filter housing, or when it has reached the end of its service life. On average, the air filter should be replaced after covering between 12,000 miles and 18,000 miles. The cost for replacing the air filter is approximately £30, including labour.
