ENGINE AIR FILTER FAQ

What do engine air filters do?

Engine air filters help supply clean and unrestricted airflow to the engine while trapping harmful contaminants, which helps protect your engine and keep it running efficiently.​

What happens if I don’t change or replace my engine air filter?

A dirty or worn-out engine air filter can lead to:

 

  • Reduced engine power 
  • Decreased fuel efficiency 
  • Sluggish acceleration 
  • Unusual engine sounds 

Can a clogged engine air filter damage the engine?

The engine air filter keeps clean air flowing to the engine. Without it working properly, airflow can become restricted and increase strain on the engine, causing additional wear on engine components.

How often do I need to change or replace my engine air filter?

Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for any guidance specific to your make and model.​ Typically, an engine air filter lasts 12,000 to 15,000 miles, but other factors can impact your engine air filter’s performance and longevity: 

 

  • Frequent driving on gravel roads or sandy areas 
  • Sitting in heavy traffic often 
  • Driving in areas with poor air quality or heavy pollution 

How do I replace my engine air filter?​

Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for any guidance specific to your make and model.​ While all vehicles are different, typically to change an engine air filter: 

 

  1. Pop the hood  
  2. Find the air filter box 
  3. Open the box  
  4. Remove the old filter  
  5. Clean the engine air filter housing  
  6. Install the new filter  
  7. Close the box 
  8. Close the hood 

Where can I buy engine air filters near me?

You can purchase cabin air filters from:  

 

  • GM Dealerships 
  • Auto parts stores such as AutoZone®, NAPA® or O’Reilly® 
  • Online at the GM Parts Store 

Does a dirty engine air filter affect gas mileage?

Yes, a dirty or clogged engine air filter can negatively affect gas mileage. However, in most modern fuel-injected vehicles, the impact is minimal due to the engine’s computer adjusting fuel delivery automatically.

Can a dirty engine air filter cause the check engine light to come on?

No, at least not directly. Restricted airflow from a clogged filter could trigger oxygen (O2) sensors or mass air flow sensors, but there is not a sensor triggered directly by the quality or condition of the engine air filter.

What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

The engine air filter helps trap airborne particles before they enter the engine and minimize airflow restriction to the engine. Cabin air filters help trap certain outside particles before they reach the vehicle’s interior ventilation system.
