Filters are the cheapest insurance your engine has. The oil filter traps metal particles and sludge, the air filter stops dust from being sucked into the cylinders, the fuel filter protects injectors and pumps from dirt and water, and the cabin filter keeps dust and pollen out of the air you breathe. In the Kalahari, where fine dust gets into everything, air and cabin filters clog much faster than in coastal cities.
Signs a filter needs replacing
- Loss of power or poor acceleration, especially on dusty roads
- Higher fuel consumption than usual
- Rough idling or hesitation, often a sign of a blocked fuel filter
- A visibly dirty, dark or dusty air filter element
- Weak air flow or musty smell from the aircon vents
- You are due for a service according to your logbook
