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.

There is nothing simple about complex engine oil formulations. Effectively explaining to your customer how Valvoline’s Restore & Protect motor oil removes and prevents engine deposits may seem like a tough task.
Dr. Michael Warholic, global technology director for Valvoline Global Operations, emphasizes the importance of visual evidence
“Hey, look how this product performs,” said Warholic. “We have visuals showing that there’s a removal of deposits, that there is a reversing of the aging process in an engine. That’s a great case story to tell.”
Warholic talks with Babcox Content Director Jason Morgan about the formulation process that sets Restore & Protect apart. The process involves a balance of various additives and components, tested rigorously in both laboratory and real-world conditions. It also involves combining base oils, viscosity modifiers, and a unique blend of additives. These additives include detergents to clean deposits, friction modifiers to reduce engine strain, and antioxidants to combat the breakdown of oil components. The goal was to create a motor oil that not only prevents the formation of new deposits but also removes existing ones, effectively rejuvenating the engine.
“We wanted to do something different than everybody else,” said Warholic. “That’s what Restore and Protect does. It differentiates us from our competitors. It does something that no other oil does in the marketplace right now.”
Restore & Protect could be considered a new category of motor oil that bridges the gap between conventional oils and high-mileage formulations. While high-mileage oils are designed for older engines, Restore & Protect is suitable for both new and aging engines. Its dual function of preventing new deposits and reversing existing ones makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of vehicles.
This innovation is particularly valuable for engines operating under severe conditions, such as those used for towing or in high-traffic areas. The oil’s ability to handle these demanding environments while maintaining engine cleanliness offers a significant advantage over standard motor oils.
“There’s always engine oil. Formulating is a little bit about give and take. The engine is a very complex machine. You have different temperatures, different pressures. It is really a very interesting field when you start digging into it.”
“We do tons of data-driven testing. That’s what we live for.”
