The car air filter is an important part of the engine intake system. Its main function is to filter out dust and impurities in the air entering the engine to protect the normal operation of the engine. Regular inspection and replacement of air filters is essential to maintain vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.
When to replace the car air filter?
Generally speaking, the recommended replacement cycle of the air filter is 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, but this cycle varies according to the vehicle's use environment and driving conditions. If you often drive in dusty or poor air quality environments, you may need to replace it more frequently. For example, in areas with heavy sand and dust, it may need to be cleaned every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, while in severely polluted environments, it may need to be checked every 3,000 kilometers. If the air filter is blocked, the indicator light alarm should also be replaced immediately.
How to check the air filter?
1. Open the engine hood and find the location of the air filter.
2. Check whether there is dust accumulation on the outside of the air filter.
3. Gently tap or use compressed air to blow the filter element from the inside to the outside to remove dust.
4. If the filter element is black or damaged, or if there is too much dust after beating, it is recommended to replace it.
Steps to replace the air filter:
1. Determine the location of the air filter and open the engine hood.
2. Remove the screws or buckles that fix the air filter box.
3. Take out the old air filter and clean the dust in the filter box.
4. Install the new air filter and ensure that it is well sealed.
5. Reinstall the air filter box and close the engine hood.
Note:
During the replacement process, make sure to use a genuine air filter that matches the vehicle model.
Be careful not to damage the filter element when replacing it, and avoid contamination of the filter element by oil or other impurities.
Check whether the seal of the air filter box is intact. If it is damaged, it should be replaced in time.
Please check and replace the air filter regularly according to your vehicle usage and environmental conditions, combined with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer, to ensure the best performance of the engine and extend its service life. If you are not sure how to do it, it is recommended to consult a professional auto repair technician.

Typically, our customers demand the following from brake pads:
Braking performance. Good pedal feel. No noise (no long, sharp noise or other annoying noises), little to no dust. No vibration during braking. Long-lasting durability. link hidden, please login to view
To meet these demands, KETULLA, as a professional brake pad factory, invests in research and development to formulate friction material compounds suitable for market needs， Types of brake pads:
link hidden, please login to view, link hidden, please login to view, link hidden, please login to view. The reason for adding ceramic fibers to the friction material mixture is that ceramic fibers are stable and significantly enhance the performance of the friction material. On the other hand, adding metal fibers to the friction material is for heat dissipation, especially when used in brake pads that can generate high temperatures.
The ceramic formulation provides a smoother pedal feel, whether the pads are at normal or high temperatures because the friction coefficient of ceramic brake pads decreases slower than that of semi-metallic. Additionally, ceramic formulations produce minimal noise and vibration, resulting in quieter braking with less damage to the brake discs. Ceramic pads hardly produce any dust, keeping the wheels clean and extending their lifespan. The craftsmanship of ceramic pads is superior, visibly appearing grayish-white, and nearly no dust is visible on the wheels.
Furthermore, the dust generated during braking with ceramic formula products is minimal, keeping the wheels clean and prolonging their lifespan. Despite having many advantages compared to other formulations, the ceramic formula is still not suitable for heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks used for towing or hauling, where semi-metallic pads would be more appropriate.
Semi-metallic formulations have a higher content of friction material fibers (reaching 45-50%), providing excellent heat dissipation performance. Compared to ceramic and low-metallic formulas, they can better handle high temperatures. Below 500°C, ceramic formula products wear less than semi-metallic. Above 500°C, the performance and wear of semi-metallic formula products are the best, but the likelihood of noise and brake squeal increases. Ketulla has addressed these issues by redeveloping semi-metallic brake pads to avoid the possibility of squealing at high temperatures. This is achieved by incorporating advanced materials such as graphene into the mixture and using a balanced ratio, which has been widely accepted by more purchasers.
The disadvantages and advantages of ceramic and semi-metallic brake pads
Advantages of KETULLA Ceramic Brake Pads:
Minimal thermal fade: During continuous braking, even when brake temperatures instantly rise above 500 degrees Celsius, they do not melt and still maintain excellent braking performance. High braking force, resulting in shorter braking distances. Low probability of noise generation. Excellent braking performance in wet conditions and on slippery roads, without squealing. Prolongs the lifespan of brake discs: Ceramic brake pads, as they do not contain metal fibers, do not cause scratches on brake discs, making them more friendly to brake discs. Disadvantages:
Higher price: Ceramic brake pads are priced 30% higher than semi-metallic brake pads. Soft braking feel: This is not necessarily a disadvantage, but rather a characteristic of ceramic brake pads. link hidden, please login to view -

Advance’s “Check Your Battery, Not Your Bag” campaign offers free gift cards for road trip essentials and curbside services beginning National Road Trip Day – Friday, May 24
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Americans seem to be hitting a breaking point with air travel, with 67 percent saying they’ve had a trip negatively impacted or ruined because of problems with air travel during the last 12 months,* according to new data from Atomik Research, released today by Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider.

From losing precious time – 44 percent citing that delays and other problems traveling by air has cost them vacation time – to safety concerns – 32 percent feeling less safe flying compared to a year ago, Americans are saying “enough!” This summer they’re trading wings for wheels: An astounding 70 percent say they are more likely compared to a year ago to choose traveling by automobile over flying due to the current state of air travel.
The “baggage” that comes with air travel continues to stack up and now outweighs the benefit of faster travel time for many Americans, according to the survey. Sixty-six percent say the number of hours they’re willing to drive before choosing to fly has increased in the past 12 months and 24 percent say they would drive 10 or more hours for summer vacation before choosing to fly.
Heeding consumers’ preference for summer vacation by automobile, Advance is encouraging travelers to “Check Your Battery, Not Your Bag” so they can achieve what matters most – enjoying their well-deserved summer vacation.

Complimentary curbside services are available every day throughout the year to customers at all participating Advance stores, including battery checks and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light scanning.
