When most people in St. George, UT think about the engine in their Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, the last thing that usually comes to mind is the engine air filter. Just like how all of the other parts of the engine play an important role in how the engine runs, a Mopar engine air filter is equally important. In order to function properly, all fuel-burning engines must have a constant supply of air. The air filter is responsible for cleaning the air before it goes through the cylinders and preventing dirt, dust, and other debris from causing damage to the engine. The air filter, which is a pleated, rectangular filter, is located in the front of the engine. To ensure the air filter is doing the job it’s intended to do, it’s important to replace the filter.
Over time the engine air filter gets clogged or dirty, restricting the airflow resulting in slow acceleration because your engine is not getting the appropriate amount of air. Several benefits come with routine engine air filter replacement, including:
It’s important to change the air filter when it’s dirty enough to prevent proper airflow to the engine, which is generally first noticeable by reduced acceleration. The frequency it needs to be changed depends on a variety of factors. For instance, if you frequently drive in urban or dusty areas, you’ll most likely need to change the air filter more often than if you tend to drive more in rural areas where there is less air pollution. However, if you aren’t sure when to change it, consider having it changed about every 15,000 miles or when you have the oil changed.
An engine air filter replacement is typically a quick and easy task. However, it is best to take your vehicle to a reputable technician, such as those at Stephen Wade Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT service center. Taking your vehicle to a trustworthy dealership is an assurance that your air filter will be replaced with quality parts, such as OEM air filters, which are built better and less likely to leak unfiltered air than a lower quality part.
