Cool Air Filter....

Hi Guys. When do you need to change out the Factory paper air filter? I took it out and cleaned it, but this is the same one that was on the car form 19K miles.. Now at 62K miles.. Hum LOL. Ok, thanks.

Are you talking about the one for the motor? That should be changed often. Get a K&N and just wash it every 15k

Crack open the owners manual, but consider your conditions as well. In high dust areas you'll need to change more often.

once a year for the cabin air and engine air filters
Old school test is hold filter to light - can you see clearly thru it? no
then replace it!!!
60k miles,,, you are ready for seafoam, plugs and filters for sure

when you pull the cabin filter- and see how bad it is, then decide the engine air filter is getting that dirt at greater impact speed.....and spend a few bucks on the cars health.

Clean engine air filter = better mileage
