【Mrefilter】What effect will the air filter element not change for a long time?

What is the impact of not changing the car air filter for a long time
1. As the "mask" of the engine, the air filter filters the gas entering the engine once. Those impurities and dust are blocked on the filter element, so the filter element will become very dirty over time and affect its function. After driving for a certain mileage, the air filter element must be processed or replaced to ensure normal use, otherwise the filtering effect will not be achieved and the engine will be damaged and more troublesome;
2. Regarding the question of how often the air filter element is replaced, I believe that car owners in different regions have different opinions. After all, the content of dust particles in the air in different regions is different. Generally speaking, there are more dust and particles in the north than in the south, and there is more dust in the northwest. Vehicle owners in the north may need to check more frequently, and check the filter element during each maintenance. In some wet and clean cities, the replacement cycle can be extended appropriately, and then replaced after 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers;
3. Is it necessary to replace the filter element every time if there is dust accumulation in each inspection? In fact, it is not. If you find only fine sand and dust, you can use an air gun to blow it off or "flick it" to remove the dust on it or you can continue to use it, but the air gun can't be used too forcefully, and the filter element is still relatively fragile. During the inspection, it was found that the air filter element was too dirty, and blowing may not achieve the effect. At this time, the filter element must be replaced. In addition, if a filter element is frequently blown and used for half a year, it is not advisable. If it is used for too long, the filter effect of dust will not be good, and it is also undesirable;
4. The air filter element can be said to be a very cheap accessory on the car. Compared with the price of adding a little configuration or repairing it once, it does not cost much to change the air filter element frequently. Therefore, don't be lazy to clean or replace the filter element. Because the air filter element is too dirty, the consequences are definitely something you don't want to see;
5. If the air filter element is full of dirt, it will hinder the air circulation, reduce the engine air intake, and cause the engine power to drop. It will be like an "asthma" when driving, and the fuel consumption will greatly increase. In addition, being too dirty will reduce the filtering effect. The air entering the engine may carry fine sand and impurities. When these small things are too large, they will cause wear and damage to the cylinder wall, piston, piston ring, and valve.
