An air cleaner is vital to engine performance. As outside air travels through the intake on its way to the engine, it passes through the air cleaner element.
Dirt and debris, harmful to an engine, are trapped in the air cleaner element. Over time, as more material is trapped, the air flow rate decreases, restricting the air that the engine needs.
🐈 If the air cleaner element is not replaced, engine power, acceleration and fuel economy are reduced. Using a non-genuine element may cause irreparable damage inside the engine.
