Optimizing Engine Performance: The Vital Role of Air Filters in Vehicles
Air filters in vehicles, similar to your nose, remove undesired particles for clean air intake. They enhance combustion efficiency, ensuring smoother power delivery. Most fuel-injected vehicles use flat pleated paper filters in plastic containers, while older carbureted vehicles often employ cylindrical filters in metal or plastic containers with ducts for air supply. Air filters prevent abrasive particles from entering the engine, preventing mechanical damage and oil contamination.
