| What
the Air Filter Does... |
Like oil filters, air filters can
be easily overlooked. They often don't get replaced until
they are absolutely clogged with dirt and soot. To help
keep a vehicle running well, and to protect the intake
system from premature wear, it's important to change
the air filter in your vehicle at the proper intervals.
The air filter removes soot, carbon,
abrasives and other contaminants from the air before
the air mixes with fuel in the engine induction system.
If allowed to get inside the engine, even microscopic
dust particles can damage cylinder walls, pistons and
piston rings. Since as much as 10,000 gallons of air
must pass through the air filter for every gallon of
fuel the engine burns, NAPA Filters quality air filters
-- available for virtually every vehicle -- lengthen
engine life by preventing the introduction of damaging
foreign particles to the fuel mix. Our comprehensive
line of quality air filters encompasses various applications,
both stationary and vehicular for both on and off-road
applications.
