Kinetech Motor Werkes is going to talk about the different filters that are in your European automobile so you know when they need to be changed. Clean filters are a key component of engine efficiency. You can only get the best gas mileage out of your European vehicle if the engine is running as efficiently as possible. Keep reading to learn more about the filters that affect your engine’s efficiency.
Air
For example, a clogged air filter can cause a rich fuel mixture in the combustion chamber that will make your European automobile burn excess fuel. To prevent this, you need to change the air filter every 12,000 miles. This makes certain that your engine performance and fuel economy are not affected by an air filter that has gotten clogged by the dirt and debris it filters out of the air.
Cabin
Your engine’s efficiency will not be affected by a clogged cabin filter, but you may feel sick every time you drive your European automobile. As its name suggests, the cabin filter purifies the air inside your European automobile’s passenger cabin. A dirty cabin filter will leave the inside air polluted. Generally, the cabin air filter should be changed every 30,000 miles.
Fuel
A clogged fuel filter will affect your engine’s efficiency. In fact, it may prevent the engine from starting if there is no fuel in the combustion chamber. The fuel filter needs to be changed every 30,000 miles because, by that time, it is clogged with dirt and sediment. Changing the fuel filter regularly ensures you always have clean fuel making its way into the combustion chamber.
Oil
A clogged oil filter can also affect your engine’s efficiency and performance. If you are faithful about having your oil changed every 3,000 miles, your engine gets a clean oil filter every 3,000 miles. This is crucial to your engine’s performance and protection. If the oil filter is so clogged that the oil cannot get through it, a lack of oil may seriously damage your engine.
Transmission
Finally, the transmission relies on the transmission filter to keep the transmission oil clean. Not all vehicles are equipped with transmission filters; we can check to see if yours is. Changing the transmission filter every 30,000 miles prevents it from getting clogged. This keeps your transmission fluid clean and capable of protecting the transmission.
