Engine Air Filters help protect your vehicle. It filters contaminants in the air that can clog and damage your vehicle's A/C system and internal engine components. 

All Engine Air Filters wear out in the same way. They get clogged and restricted after they become full of particles that they removed from the air. But when do you need to change them? The answer is… it depends. Depending on the conditions the vehicle is being operated in, as well as where the vehicle is parked.

If you drive off-road or through construction sites, you may need your filter replaced almost every time you get an oil change. Also if you park your vehicle near or under trees, your cabin air filter may become restricted much sooner. Vehicles that are parked in garages or far from trees, and drive in less dusty conditions will see much longer life from their filters. 

At Tim’s, we check your Engine Air Filter at every service. We take pictures, give ratings, and will let you know if we recommend changing it.
