Notes:
For the high-quality operation of the fuel system of the car, the purity of the incoming air, which is cleaned by the air filter, is important. During the operation of the car, it gets dirty, so it needs to be replaced.
According to the regulations, the air filter must be changed every 30-45 thousand kilometers. But it should be changed as it gets dirty. The frequency of replacement is mainly influenced by the conditions in which the vehicle is operated.
