Deep Breathing In Rio Rancho: Engine Air Filter

Last Updated: Apr 29, 2019

Your vehicle engine really needs clean air to operate efficiently. It takes about twelve thousand gallons of air to burn a gallon of gas in your vehicle engine. And clean air is much better than dirty.

When your air filter's dirty, it simply can't trap any more dirt, so the dirt just passes through into your air intake system. From there it can get into the vehicle engine combustion chamber. And burning dust and pollen in your engine as you drive around Rio Rancho does you no good.

The verdict: When your engine air filter needs to be replaced, it needs to be replaced. How often depends entirely on how dirty the air is in NM where you drive. A simple visual inspection by a friendly and knowledgeable American Tire and Service technician will tell you when you need a new engine air filter in your vehicle.

When you look at the air filter on your furnace in your home and see it's all clogged up with dust and dirt, you don't hesitate to replace it. But don't wait until your air filter (furnace or automobile) is totally plugged; by that time you've been running inefficiently for a long distance.

When your American Tire and Service service technician brings out your nasty engine air filter, you now know why you should go ahead and change it out.
