Air Filters

The air filters in your Infiniti are designed to keep harmful debris from the air and fuel mixture used by the engine during combustion. An air filter will ultimately age as time passes and get contaminated with debris and pollutants. They become ineffective and can't protect the parts they are supposed to protect. When air filters aren't working well, harmful debris can find their way into your vehicle, resulting in performance issues. It's very important to replace the air filter in your vehicle according to the timeframe given in your manual so it will help your car run smoothly. There are some things to watch out for that could indicate you need to make a replacement sooner, however. One thing you might notice is that your car is having a harder time starting. If it takes multiple attempts to rev the engine, it could be due to a misbalanced air to fuel ratio in your vehicle. A clogged filter can prevent clean air from getting through, causing this problem. You also might experience a drop in gas mileage from the same thing. You can also check the filter to see if it is contaminated with dirt and debris. When replacing your air filter, be sure to get an OEM Infiniti part to use for your specific model. Find it here on our site!
