The engine air filter is a small component with a vital job. This filter removes dirt and other debris, like pollen and allergens. As your Kia dealer, we want you to know some signs you need to visit us for a Kia air filter replacement. Let’s explore air filter replacement signs!
Dirty Filter
The air filter can eventually become clogged. When this happens, airflow into the engine is restricted, and your engine can turn fuel-rich. A fuel-rich engine contains more fuel than air in the fuel-air mixture used in combustion. If this happens, it can affect engine performance.
If you suspect the filter is dirty, you can quickly check it to see if the air filter looks clogged. If the filter looks like it has a lot of debris on it or you notice the filter is darker, contact us, and our technicians will speedily install a new one while you wait.
