How to spot symptoms of a dirty air filter.
Check your owner’s guide for instructions on removing your air filter. If you see dirt or debris in the filter, it may be time for a new one. Dirt and dust can clog the filter and break down your oil, reducing performance.
Your air filter might need replacement if you:
- Feel decreased engine performance
- Experience jerky or slow acceleration
- Experience reduced gas mileage
- Hear coughing or spitting when your vehicle is idling
If any of these symptoms occur, you should schedule an appointment at Jennings Anderson Ford in Boerne, TX.
