Different driving conditions can accelerate the need for air filter replacement. Dusty conditions, off-road driving, or desert-like environments can clog filters more quickly. Regular driving in urban environments or heavy traffic can also reduce the life of your automotive air filters.

In extreme cases of neglect, it can even degrade and flake off pieces of the filter into the engine. A dirty filter can dramatically reduce your vehicle\u2019s acceleration by as much as 11%, according to a Department of Energy study. In older vehicles with carbureted engines, dirty air filters could also negatively impact gas mileage. That\u2019s no longer the concern, however, in any vehicles newer than the 1990-1991 models when the last vehicles with carbureted engine were sold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd9b5ef blog-heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd9b5ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are Oiled Filters?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7490db blog-texteditor elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e7490db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>While paper filters are the most common and work in most situations, you may consider oiled filters, which trap more contaminants.

Make sure the filter you choose meets or exceeds OEM standards with at least 99% efficiency. In addition, air filters should provide a minimum of 12,000 miles of engine protection from dust and harmful particles with low pressure drop to maintain optimal air flow. Each vehicle needs a specific air filter.
