How long is the service life of an air filter?
Abstract: The device used to filter particles and dust in the air to reduce the wear of the engine and ensure its normal operation is called an air filter, which is what we often call "air filter", which is more like a car mask.

The service life of the air filter
Air filters are divided into dry air filters and wet air filters.
1. The service life of dry-type air filters is about 20,000 kilometers. Generally, household cars use dry-type air filters. However, if the car is often driven in harsh environments such as wind and sand, the air filter may need to be replaced less than 10,000 kilometers. Therefore, the service life of the air filter has a certain relationship with the external environment of the car.
If the air filter is dirty, it can be used as long as it is cleaned. It's just that the performance of the used air filter is definitely not as good as the brand new air filter; therefore, it is best to check it every time the car is maintained.
2. The wet air filter has the characteristics of repeated use, but this type of air filter rarely appears in household cars, but generally used in construction machinery and heavy trucks, and can be used repeatedly, as long as it is cleaned and maintained frequently. . In addition, wet air filters are also divided into oil-immersed and oil-bath types.
What man-made practices will make the air filter life premature
1. Wash with water or oil
Now the air filters of automobiles are basically made of paper, so they cannot be washed and cleaned with water or oil. The consequence of this is that the air filter will be damaged or even malfunction.
2. The air gun pressure is too high when blowing the air filter
Our most common way to clean the air filter is to blow it with an air gun to blow off the dirt. Therefore, pay extra attention to the pressure of the air gun. Generally, it should be controlled at about 0.2 to 0.29 MPa, and it must be blown from the inside to the outside. If the airflow is too strong or the direction is reversed, the air filter will basically be damaged.
3. Air filter feed water
Sometimes the drainage hole may be blocked, or the cover of other parts of the car may not be covered properly, the water will penetrate into the air filter, and the performance will decrease if the water enters too much.
