What is the purpose of an Engine Air Filter?
Your Toyota's engine has an intake air cleaner that contains a filter element that prevents foreign materials such as dust and debris from entering the cylinders. If these pesky particles make their way into your ride, they can cause internal damage to various parts of the vehicle including engines themselves.
What problems occur in the Engine Air Filter?
Whenever the engine is running, the air filter is removing and collecting foreign materials from the intake air and will eventually accumulate enough that replacement will be necessary. A clogged air filter increases fuel consumption because less airflow occurs through them; It also contributes towards oil contamination.
Is it time to schedule your engine air filter replacement?
An engine air filter inspection and replacement are required at specific maintenance intervals, as indicated in the Owner’s Manual or by the Toyota factory-recommended maintenance schedule. If you often drive in dusty conditions, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
