Checking and Changing an Air Filter

Ensure your engine remains free of dust and insects

A blocked or dirty air filter will accelerate engine wear, cause poor performance and increase fuel consumption - by up to 10%. Air filters should never be cleaned with compressed air or banged out on a table - this will only leave a false impression that the filter is clean.

Air filters need to be changed every 10,000km to 15,000km or every 12 to 18 months.

Why change your air filter?

Prolonged engine life
Improved fuel efficiency
