Engine Air Filter Replacement in Gastonia, NC

Engine Air Filter 101

Your Ford car or light truck with an internal combustion engine requires clean air to operate correctly. The Engine Air Filter cleans the incoming ambient air by trapping airborne debris. If you've ever witnessed a filthy, clogged engine air filter, then you know that the engine air filter collects all sorts of unwanted debris, such as dust, tiny pebbles, salt, and dead insects. Engine Air Filters are engineered using a paper composite similar in design to a coffee filter so that air can pass through but airborne particulates cannot. New Ford-Certified Engine Air Filters trap almost 100% of the airborne debris threatening the engine. Because the Engine Air Filter is made of paper, it has a limited service life. When it gets clogged and damaged relatively quickly as a rule-of-thumb, the filter requires replacement relatively quickly if it starts showing the symptoms of a defective engine air filter.

What are the Symptoms of a Defective Engine Air Filter?

Poor air filtration from a defective Engine Air Filter is a concerning threat for us at Tindol Ford of Charlotte.
