Which Air Filter Do I Need?
If no sunlight can pass through your air filter, it’s more than ready for a replacement.
Changing your air filter can only benefit your engine, improving airflow combustion, which will lead to improved fuel economy and performance.
But what if you’re not sure which air filter is best for your vehicle?
Knowing Which Air Filter is Best for Your Vehicle
Some air filters are vehicle specific, though there are cost-effective universal filters on the market that are designed to fit most cars too.
Keep in mind that you need an air filter that suits your car’s air intake design.
Air filters typically offer one of two main benefits:
- Long-lasting premium filtration that prioritises filtering contaminants for engine health. These also come with the benefit of quieter engine running.
- Performance-driven filtration with deeper pleats in the filter creases. These allow increased airflow for optimised combustion and performance.
Types of Air Filter
DIY Car Service Parts stock two main types of air filter:
Paper Air Filters
Stock replacement air filters that are designed to fit most cars, fixing securely to avoid air leakage.
Manufactured using high-quality materials to withstand driving conditions, these filters are durable replacements for factory-fitted air filters.
Performance Air Filters
Performance cotton air filters that efficiently maximise airflow that circulates in the engine.
These filters need to be changed infrequently (typically around every 50,000 miles) and may last for the lifetime of your car.
