When to Change Your Engine Air Filter

Engine Air Filter Replacement

Changing your engine air filter every 30,000 to 45,00 miles is crucial to the upkeep of your new Hyundai. Checking your air filter during routine car maintenance can help you determine if and when your Hyundai needs an engine air filter replacement service. Your owner’s manual will indicate how often you should change your air filter based on your make and model.


What Does an Engine Air Filter Do?

Your vehicle’s engine air filter works to keep contaminants such as rust, dirt, sand, and other particles from clogging your engine and damaging it. Some St Louis may not be sure when their vehicle is due to have its air filter changed, and that’s ok! Some signs you should watch out for are:

  • Black smoke from the exhaust
  • Service Engine light comes on
  • Sluggish acceleration
  • Misfiring spark plugs

If you don’t change your engine air filter on time, the clogged engine will start affecting other parts of your vehicle. Your MPG rating will be affected, and you’re at an increased risk of other risky vehicle malfunctions. Your best course of action when you see the above signs your engine air filter needs to be changed is to schedule an appointment with Suntrup Hyundai South to have your vehicle serviced.
