When you think about car maintenance, you probably think about the standard checklist: changing oil and tires, wheel alignment, tire rotation, and so on.

At Volkswagen SouthTowne, we have everything you need to keep your engine in top working order.

An engine air filter is under the hood of your car. It serves to remove airborne contaminants from the inside of your car. This is important because debris and grime can damage your engine, shortening your car’s lifespan. Replacing a damaged engine can be extremely expensive, so it’s important that you keep up with regular maintenance. If your engine is exposed to unfiltered air, it can also affect the performance of your car. Gas mileage suffers and acceleration performs more poorly. Additionally, your car’s emissions will also increase.
The general rule of thumb is that you need an engine air filter replacement about every 15,000 miles. However, there are a couple of caveats. If you live in an extremely dusty or sandy area — for example, in a desert region — you should change it more often. This ensures that your car will continue to perform no matter how much you drive.
Changing the engine air filter in your Volkswagen can range in price. This depends on what model your car is and what you’re looking for in an engine air filter. However, it is generally an affordable repair.
