How To Change The Air Filter In Your Car

How to change the air filter in your car? Your car’s filter gets rid of dirt and air impurities. Your car engine needs air just as much as it needs fuel. The air filter cleans the air in your engine. The cleaner the air the better it will go.

We sometimes forget that an air filter is a very important part of the car.

How to change your air filter

You should change the air filter every time you change your oil filter. The air filter and oil filter are very important. If you live near the sea then you need to change it more frequently.

Step 1

Firstly choose a premium brand of air filter. Ask our specialists at Partsboyz for their best brand. They will recommend a generic replacement filter based on the make, model, and year of a car. If you are still unsure, take your old air filter with you as a sample.

Step 2

Make sure your car is parked on a level surface and your car handbrake is engaged.

Step 3

Open the bonnet and locate the air filter box. It is a square or rectangular shape box.

Step 4

Remove the air filter box cover.

Step 5

Remove the old air filter and replace it with the new. Watch always how the air filter is fitted. That is the way it should be replaced. All clamps and screws should be kept aside safely.

Replace the air filter box. Secure it properly. Double-check it is secure.
