Engine Air Filter Replacement

What Does My Vehicle's Engine Air Filter Do?

Along with fuel, compression, and spark, air is one of the four main components needed to create combustion in a gas-powered engine (a diesel engine does not require a spark, but it still needs the other three). The engine draws air from outside, but that presents a problem. Outside air is filled with contaminants, ranging from bugs to pollen to dust -- and more! These contaminants could damage your Mopar vehicle's engine, which is why an engine air filter is necessary. The engine air filter will keep these outside contaminants from getting into the engine while still letting a fresh supply of air get through.

Why Does My Engine Air Filter Need To Be Replaced?

The engine air filter does a great job at blocking contaminants; it's so good, in fact, that these contaminants will build up in the filter and clog it. This means that less air will be able to get through to your vehicle's engine. As a result, your engine will be less powerful and less efficient, and it may even stop working as the air-to-fuel ratio gets too rich.
