Your vehicle’s engine air filter plays a crucial role in both engine performance and long-term durability. It protects your engine by trapping dirt, dust, and debris before they can enter the combustion chamber. At Advanced Auto Works in Livermore, Alameda, we offer expert air filter replacement and inspection services to ensure your vehicle runs efficiently and breathes clean, contaminant-free air.
Whether you drive a Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, or Toyota, regular air filter maintenance is essential to keeping your engine healthy and your car performing at its best.
There are several types of air filters used in vehicles today, each designed for specific driving conditions and needs:
Paper Air Filters: The most commonly used filter due to affordability. However, they are not reusable and must be replaced regularly, especially in dusty or polluted environments.
Gauze Air Filters: These reusable filters come in synthetic dry or oiled varieties. They offer enhanced performance and can be cleaned and reused, making them ideal for custom or high-performance vehicles.
Foam Air Filters: Typically used in smaller engines or as a protective wrap in some vehicles. They serve as an extra layer to trap large debris particles.
Our technicians at Advanced Auto Works can recommend the right air filter based on your driving habits, environment, and vehicle type.
Engine Air Filter: Filters air before it enters the engine, preventing damage to internal components and improving combustion efficiency.
Cabin Air Filter: Filters the air you and your passengers breathe. It removes pollen, dust, mold spores, and pollutants from your HVAC system to improve air quality inside the cabin.
Both filters are essential for your vehicle’s performance and your personal comfort, and both should be maintained as part of your vehicle’s regular service schedule.
