The engine air filter element generally has a service life of 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, which is greatly affected by the driving environment. If the environment is poor, it needs to be replaced in advance.

The air filter element filters the gas entering the engine and filters out the impurities in the air. If the impurities enter the cylinder, it will cause abnormal wear of the cylinder and shorten the service life of the engine. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check and replace the air filter element, and the replacement of the air filter element is relatively simple. Car owners can purchase the air filter element by themselves and replace it by themselves.

Air filter replacement steps

The air filter element is installed in a black plastic box, and there are two ways to install the air filter element, screw fixing and snap fixing. The snap-in type is easier to take out. You can take it out by gently lifting the two metal clips upward; while the screw-fixed type requires unscrewing the screws on the air filter cartridge, and then take out the air filter.

2. After taking out the air filter element, remove the carbon deposits, dust, etc. inside and outside the air filter element box. Use a rag to remove the dust, remember not to rinse with clean water.

3. When installing a new air filter element, distinguish the front and back sides. There is a raised plastic sheet on the right under the air filter element to prevent the installation of the reverse air filter element. When installing the air filter, the plastic sheet must be inserted into the slot of the filter seat to be installed in place.

4. Finally, install the other components.
