ACDelco ENGINE AIR FILTER

Engine air filters trap airborne particles before they enter the engine and supply the cleanest possible air with the least airflow restriction to the engine. They enhance the performance and efficiency of the engine and extends its life. This engine air filter is equipped with a tight seal to keep unfiltered air from entering the combustion chamber.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Enhances the performance and efficiency of the engine to extend its life.
  • Excellent filter capacity, efficiency, and flow management for superior performance.
  • Supplies the cleanest possible air with the least airflow restriction to the engine for enhanced performance.
  • Equipped with tight seals to keep unfiltered air from entering the combustion chamber.

SIGNS OF WEAR AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Due to a dirty or oil soaked engine air filter, or if the filter does not seal inside the filter housing, these problems may occur:

  • Prematurely dirty oil.
  • Reduced engine power.
  • Filter impurities from incoming air will enter the engine.

GOOD MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

  • Replacing your vehicle's filters on a regularly scheduled basis can help the vehicle run better and last longer. (Refer to your owner's manual for your vehicle's specific filter change intervals.)
  • You will need to replace the air filter more often if you frequently drive on dirt roads or live in a dusty area. This will help protect the internal parts of the engine from premature wear.
  • If your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, change that too. A dirty cabin air filter reduces the airflow through the vehicle’s ventilation system. Cabin air filters help keep pollens, fumes, smoke, and other materials from reaching the inside of a vehicle. See your owner’s manual to determine if your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter.
  • Clean air filters contribute to better fuel economy and reduced vehicle operating costs.
