Why You Need to Change Your Engine Air Filter
The number one way to keep your BMW sedan, coupe, or SAV® running smoothly and efficiently for years to come is to stay on top of all routine maintenance. Your BMW model requires special care for optimal performance.
So what does that include? Your owner’s manual details all maintenance milestones, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, brake maintenance, engine tune-ups, and more. The best way to keep track is to service your BMW at BMW of Pharr where our expert technicians are specially trained to work on BMW models.
One common maintenance task that makes a big difference in your model’s performance is changing the engine air filter.
Why Change the Engine Air Filter?
Doing so extends the life of your engine. In essence, the air filter is what keeps your engine clean and gives it the oxygen it needs to breathe. When the air filter becomes dirty, you risk suffocating the engine or introducing contaminants that could lead to engine misfires, rough idling, and improper combustion.
Further, routinely changing your engine’s air filter can lead to an efficiency gain as high as 14 percent, according to The News Wheel.
Finally, replacing your engine’s air filter is cheap. Ignoring this easy fix for too long, on the other hand, will result in costly repairs.
