I don't have a real car so I lose my cars in Forza?
Thank you Scotty. You are extremely helpful.
Who edits those video and puts those excellent representations.
0:26 I had to turn on CC to realize that "the eh-ja-NAIR-rah filter" = "the engine air filter."
done.
I work at an auto parts store, I bet we will start selling more air filters tomorrow morning HAHAHA I'm glad I saw this, I need to change my air filter 😅 pronto
To what particular air filter was Scotty referring?
That little dig at German cars towards the end. Scotty couldn’t resist 😂
Likely service interval at 30k on those Teutonic models as consolation to it's hard to reach location.
because he's right. I'm from a family of engineers (we don't agree on anything politically), but we all agree when it comes to German cars and German Engineering. Independently (since we'v never agreed in the past) we've all concluded a long time ago that "German Engineering" is a Ridiculous marketing slogan, and like all marketing slogans, a complete lie or hugely overrated and exaggerated. Stuff engineered in Germany is often below average, often over engineered or under engineered, often weird, rigid and poorly thought through and expensive because it's inefficiently produced. Japanese products, on the other hand, are almost perfectly optimized between cost and quality.
I tried to like German engineering, but when my tiguan burned a quart of oil 2 months into its oil change interval I joined the bandwagon...
He’s right. 😂
Typical engineer. “ it looks good on paper”.
I have an engine air filter horror story - two years ago when forest fire smoke blanketed where I live my engine air filter had to be replaced TWICE in a single month. the soot and particulate in the air clogged the new air filter with only 20 hours of running time. Brutal.
Atleast you had the knowledge to check it and the smarts to replace it! We need more peopel like you on this planet.
I've heard of people putting panty hose on their air filter to work as a pre-filter for times like that, first time I heard about it was when Mt. Saint Helen blew her top up in Washington state.
Imagine how your lungs looked.
you've reminded me to def checking the air and cabin filters instead of "thinking about it" on account of just being 2 years old, seeing how we've had light sandstorms coming in from Africa or something that blanketed the sky in orange for iirc a couple of weeks
Portland?! ~ Salem
The other neglected, is the air intake hose, if it leaks/torn it tends to absorb the hot air from the engine compartment which also has less oxygen/expanded air and leads to reduced mileage/high consumption. Check your air intake hose too. I learned it the hard way.
These are my favorite of yours Scotty; a single topic explained in historic and scientific detail!
Scotty Kilmer is a mechanic -- he's definitely NOT a scientist. 😁
Good timing on this. I just washed and re-oiled mine today. That came as part of the oil change, check all the fluids, and a lube.
Scotty, you're a true professional and in a league of your own. As a fellow engineer, I SALUTE YOU SIR!
Lol so old school air filters were basicly bongs for cars😂 wonder how they got the idea💨💨
Makes sense it would take a lot of debris to clog a water filter
@J D That's quite clever
Dude!
@J D hmmmmm he must have been pretty high by the time the storm was over.
still waiting for video on the history of windshield wiper fluid....
99cent store is what brand I use.
@@BigEightiesNewWave ima have to check that out I’m paying $3 lol 😂 a gallon of it I use a lot from all these bugs it’s like my car says free light or something.
Love your videos and your dynamic personality. No nonsense! I recently purchased a 2006 Mercedes SLK 350. convertible. I've been watching your videos for DIY tips.
I used to work for this house to house service business and my boss was such a cheapskate that he never had me replace the air filter on my service truck. I was instructed to clean it with a vacuum cleaner occasionally to save money on filters. So stupid but it was his choice. He was the boss.
My 318 ci . Dodge really struggled to pull our loaded down 24 ft 1984 Frolic camper . I installed a K&N air filter and had dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers , helped enormously .
ThankYou Scotty for reaffirming many things I’ve heard while being owner of vehicles ( Japanese mostly) since 1986 when I got my first car Daihatsu Charade in 1986. Apart from the second car that was a Honda Civic, I’ve stuck to Toyota till this day.
I own a JDM Mark X ‘06 right now and love it’s 2.5 litre V6 engine. Then I have my classic 80 series LC, beat up but still working.
My other one being Prado120 series ‘05 with the 2.7 lite VVTI 4 cylinder banger.
We in our country have mostly JDM cars imported, or recently Hyundai, Kia, Proton, MG and other Chinese products that I don’t remember the. Names of, came to Pakistan recently in our market to assemble vehicles here.
Who gives a dam 🦫
Just bought an '08 CRV. First thing did was oil change oil filter air filter and cabin filter. All oem except for the oil which was synthetic! Expect my car might just outlast me lol. Since did brake fluid coolant and power steering fluid. Doing differential fluid next week! Thank you Scotty for the good advise!
Knowledge doesn't depreciate like my car. Scotty's two cents are priceless.
While driving through a Wyoming blizzard, I had snow clogging the air filter. I lost power while driving. Even in lower gears, I couldn't keep the rpms up. It finally stalled and I was stranded. Every winter after that, I would reroute the intake tube to take air from the engine compartment instead of from the grille area.
So did you replace the air filter
@@hazelpieterse853 Perhaps the ice would melt and drip out the bottom of the box, or too cold?
Love the animations in this video Scotty 👍🏻👍🏻
Stolen from Bosch without permission, because in US nobody cares about
Air Filters.
The oil I spilled the first time I changed my oil bath VW air filter is still on my folks driveway, 40 years later.
They didn't redo, reseal, or even just clean their driveway in 40 years?!?
@@Sol_Rosenberg no matter how hard you clean a driveway it takes a LOT to get an oil spill off, trust me I know lmao
Dirty oil is hard to get up. Hydrocarbon oil disperant works best.
There is a product made that will ''eat'' only the oil away in a few months... Dawn Dish Soap works great as does diatomaceous earth ( oil clean )...
Use baking soda and coca cola. Scrub with push broom. Rinse off with power washer. Let dry. If stain still exist, use cat liter with push broom. These steps worked well in the Army motor pools.
So what is this "NEW FILTER" you were referring to that makes more horsepower???
When you replace your filter, also check the air intake horn. One of my tractors wouldn't run, oil bath filter was clean but eventually found that mud wasps had built a nest in the intake screen. Plugged up about 90 percent.
Wow. That’s crazy! First time you’ve seen or heard of that?
That crashed an airliner in South America, when wasps built a nest in one of the pitot tubes for calculating airspeed.
@@ted.angell7609 I have actually heard of that happening. Pilot must have missed it on the pre-flight.
What a Great! Quality Video. Very Good presentation. Hats Off Scotty!!!
Rev up your engines!!! Love the channel Scotty! Take care brother.
Another slick and informative production! 👏🏻👏🏻
Recently change the air filter on my Golf, easy to get to however, it’s screwed down with those ridiculous torque/ star screws. Had to buy a special tool to change the dang thing. People are always telling to buy those reusable filters, I’d rather just change the paper one. Easy to do and doesn’t cost a lot and should work as advertised after changing.
Small straight blade works.
Replace with normal screws?
I just washed & re-oiled the K&N yesterday, since I had a 4 day weekend. Wasn't even dirty yet, but it's done until Fall!

Easy on the oil if you have a turbo.
I like both my KN Air Filter's and their oil filters too. The combination of the materials and oil treatment work great and not hard of you follow directions. They are smart and have good R/D behind them. I've used them on all my cars and they are high use/high milage.
Hold your K&N up to the light and check out the size of the holes in that media. Not worth the miniscule HP gain at the top end. Your engine spends a heck of a lot more time suffering from the reduced filtration than it does taking advantage of a miniscule HP gain at wide open throttle.
K&n still worth it. I clean mine every 6 months. Cleaning it only when there’s lack of sunlight thru it, that’s not true. I tried it.
Thank you a great video Charley Brown keep safe.
I love these high quality videos

Well put together video sir. Thankyou
Hi Scotty. Last fall, I bought a 2015 Toyota Corolla Eco plus Le. It had 75,000 miles on it, and it was in great shape. It came with free services for the life of the vehicle at the dealership, so I had the oil changed four times at the dealership and put 20,000 miles on it since I bought it. 3,400 mi into the last oil change, it threw a code, p2647 "A" rocker arm stuck on in Bank One. Since I haven't looked under the hood since I bought it, I decided to check under the hood. The plastic shroud that covers the valve cover had an oil slick on top of it with bugs and dust collecting on it. I decided to pop it off and clean everything up. I checked the air filter and it was as dirty as if it were not changed in 20,000 miles. Upon discovering this I decided to do a full service myself. The the edges of the oil filter cap were rounded and the retainer clip was missing. It was as if some kid didn't have the right tool and strip the oil filter cap and decided to leave it instead of changing it. I used a piece of paper inserted inside the oil filter wrench so that the wrench would grip onto the filter cap. This worked great and the filter came right off, however the filter was the blackest filter I've ever seen. Sure enough, the oil was black and full of sludge. Since the engine oil was so dirty, I decided to change the spark plugs as well. It had 95,000 miles on it anyway and that's when the maintenance schedule said I should change the spark plugs. Two of the plugs were dark and fouled. I hesitantly put mobile one high mileage 0-20 full synthetic oil in it, knowing that the swellers in the new oil would prevent me from using any other oil for the life of the vehicle, but since my engine was dirty I figured it wouldn't hurt to use mobile one full synthetic. I even changed the actuator solenoid that was throwing the code. After changing the oil, the oil filter, the air filter, and the spark plugs, along with the new actuator, the code cleared itself. The engine immediately sounded like it was running more smooth. It hasn't thrown the code since. Needless to say I will never bring it into the dealership for the free maintenance again, I will just do the maintenance myself. Do you have any advice for me pertaining to which other parts I should inspect or change?
On a side note, my auto start isn't working right. It turns over, but is either too rich, or too lean to start. It makes a knocking sound and fails to start. Then I have to wait about five minutes before I try to start it again with the key, and it works. I'm stumped. Winter is coming, and I live in Alaska. Auto start will be a very desired luxury, then.
Might want to replace your serpentine belt, unless your book has a note that it has already been done.
This is one component that I see techs neglect every day in shops🙄
That's okay, the techs at the oil change shops will try to push one on you every 3 months, whether you need it or not (at a 300% markup)
@@Adiscretefirm those places🙄ill be surprised if they even attempt to change the oil🤦♂️
I still have shops trying to upsell me on square engine air filters despite having a short ram intake sometimes. Granted I figure these guys must be new but still
@@GabrielIgnacio 🤣🤣🤦♂️
So what air filter am I supposed to have?
Scotty...I really need a video titled something like "if you do this (or buy this) you're super smart!" I need some positive reinforcement these days Scott ;
Good job at narration Scotty! More documentary style clips would be good.
That is great information Scotty
. The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy approved ! that was good info Scotty
I am surprised that Scotty never mentioned mice getting into the air cleaner box. I have seen where mice actually chewed holes in the filter.
I’ve seen sensors taken out that have been chewed.
They like to make nests in the box. I put steel chicken wire on the opening to stop them getting into the box. Might reduce airflow slightly but better than having mice nest and chew through the plastic.
Europe problems
@@tylerwinkle323 I've heard Irish Spring or Mothballs will keep them away as well.
Damn, with turbo engines they should rather stay on the right side of the filter!
While driving in a snow storm the snow clogged up the air filter triggering a warning light
been driving my mums car, noticed a rough idle, terrible acceleration and jerkyness at higher rpms. checked air filter - previous owner (probally a teen racer type) had installed an off brand k+n oil gauze filter which, i think might have originally been blue, but was now dark black. Never been cleaned in like 10 years. Put a paper filter in. Runs great now. Asked who had been servicing the car and told her never to use them again.
I had one that lead to a misdiagnosis due to tech not checking the shop guide or the air filter for that matter. It was so dirty the Maf got contaminated and also caused a jerking of the vehicle.
One code needed (that caused the vehicle to jerk) needed to have another code(P0141) resolved. But they went for the most expensive line item that the 2nd code (ECU replacement and reflash) and then lied and said the code was new.
Never went to that shop again. And made sure I own the shop guide for every vehicle I own.
YES !! ALWAYS get the Factory Shop Manuals for your vehicles !! NO Haines, NO Chilton -- get the OFFICIAL manuals that the DEALERS use.
You're the man Scotty!!!
Scotty, I have a 2007 F350 DRW truck with the 6.8L engine that runs great and has plenty of life left in it (178k miles). However, when I do a warm start (like stopping and going into a store and coming back out) the truck hesitates for a few seconds when I first take off like like it is not getting enough fuel (or too much). If I let it idle for a few seconds more, it runs just fine when taking off. It is only for a few seconds that it does this. Is this a leaky injector? I have checked the fuel pressure immediately after I shut off the engine and it drops to 0 PSI immediately, but my truck has a returnless fuel system. It is NOT hard to start and fires right up after a crank or two. What do you think this is?
Kudos to Scotty. Very enjoyable.
I have a 1995 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 L V-6. I bout it used and it ran OK. One day, on a whim, I decided to do some maintenance. I changed the air filter, cleaned the mass airflow sensor, cleaned the idle air valve, and replaced a cracked vacuum hose. OMG! What a difference. A rough guess... 20% more horsepower and 15% better fuel mileage.
Most of your gains were probably the result of replacing the bad Vacuum Hose.
The NEXT time you buy a "new" car, do those things right away -- and start saving IMMEDIATELY !! 😁
Should I swap my 2004 Honda jazz 1.339L auto to a Lexus is200/300? 1999-2002?
Back in the seventy ' s we use to flip the lid on our breathers, it would seal up just fine and give more area for air to get to the filter, those 350 Chev' s with the 4 barrel Quadrajet carbs would really talk to you when those back two barrels opened.
I did that too !
Me too. I was thinking about that when I saw the video.
It even worked on my brothers aspen r/t with a 360.
I got 1500 more rpm from my 4.3 1996 GMC Sonoma with new airfilter and flipped over air filter lid
I wish I had kept my 66 Charger, 4 bucket seats, manual shift, it had a 440 with a 4 barrel... sigh............
Due to Scotty's knowledge I change my Air and Cabin filters at the same time every 3 to 4 months. Just like I change my oil. It's important people.
Dumb as it gets.
You're wasting money. I've seen 1 yo air filters that still look like new.. Unless you drive dirt roads a lot.
@@lg9853 I think 6 months is good. Just twice a year is plenty
I have replaced the cabin filter in my Tacoma twice, and both times it was clogged. Need to change that regularly.
Haven't changed the cabin air filter in probably 60k miles and it was quite moldy
Scotty what's your opinion on old suzuki motorcycles I have an old 93 dr350 and just would like to know your opinion
Scott on motorcycle gp racers they apx 40 hp ! When useing air filter box-
Now ok they make 300 hp and realy realy need the filter !
Yrs ago most bikes had no filter as the slightest resistance would the power
Even just screens where not used great vedio !
I was worried my Mazda 6 wasn't as peppy as it used to be when new. I was due for a tire change and an oil change, hoping that would fix the problem, it didn't' t. Next stop was to replace the air filter.... and then I floored it, was pushed back to the seat and I was flying again holding on to the wheel with both hands just like the first weeks. Here I am with my tires driving rough again on the back roads with my "new" and peppy AIR FILTER, I love my car!
I was going to buy a grand Cherokee one day with the cool head lights and leather and stuff. Rented a 2019 loved it. Didn’t have it long enough for problems. However after watching this mans videos wife and I will look into a Toyota suv of some sort.
Bought my truck used, went to replace the air filter. Found a ton of acorns in the air box 📦
I'm like, how did that happen 😳 lol

That's why experienced country mechanics will sometimes refer to the air filter as the "nut filter".
I found a kitten once in my engine bay
Wow, that's nuts.
Scotty, what else should I do for a manual Toyota Matrix with 170k kms (105k miles) that has NO maintenance history??
Carfax only shows 7 pervious owners and nothing else! Guy I bought it from only had for 5000km.
I got an oil change, new front bearings/brakes, checked all the fluids and swapped/cleaned all the filters.
15 year old car and looking forward to the next 15 years
Noteworthy, I live in Ontario so it required a safety inspection for each ownership change, there could be unreported maintenance during these periods. My certification passed with flying colors.
We used to flip the cover over and it made it louder..lol still see this every now and then.
Still wondering what the new air filter type is?
I've heard some horror stories from a friend in Cali of K&N filters being sucked into the motor. Used to have one it did ok for me, didn't seem to particularly effect anything negatively. I just stick with the easy stuff now adays, oem.
Hello Mister Kilmer, i would like to know what you think of the new 3 cylinder turbo charged 1.0L or 1.2L vehicles that are coming out lately ?
Thank you.
I remember back in the 80’s my friend had a ‘66 Fairlane with a 289. We all new about cars and loved working on them. Imagine his embarrassment when he had me come take a look at it because he couldn’t figure out why it was having trouble running, and his air filter was completely clogged. I bet a half a pound of black sooty dirt shook out of it. Ran like a champ once cleaned. Sometimes we forget about the simple things.
Love your videos!
I missed the part about the recommended filter. Which type of filter is the best?
a clean one
Yeah, I was waiting for that "magic bullet" myself. A little disappointed when the big reveal was just "a clean one".
Wicked Pissah Cool Video Scotty!
Hey Scotty, love your videos, and I'm a big fan! I was just wondering if modying your factory air box for more air flow would be worth while?.. like drilling a hole somewhere away from engine heat?
All though I know all the information provided in this video, still appreciate it.

Excellent video!
I will compare the filter in my car to a new one , alongside each other . Looking at both sides you will see the distinct difference , decide if to replace or not .
Get rekt beta
I wish the central heat and air systems filters of homes would seal as well as on engine air filters. I've never seen a coil not get clogged because some air/debris gets pulled in from around the filter. Kind of off topic
I'm always impressed with Scotty's graphics! Very professional. I came in here seeking info on re-useable filters, Scotty seemed indifferent. Some say they are fine when used properly, others say to stay away. I used one and properly cleaned and re-oiled but had to replace my Corolla's cat at 180k. After that, I returned to paper. It stays clean, but performance has clearly suffered. I suspect the cat failure was due to a misfiring condition, that has been fixed, but I don't want to risk 'oil' polluting my new cat. Others say, that's only a concern for folks who overdo it and too often. Thoughts?
AEM reusable filters don’t use oil, assuming you used the K&N filters, which is what led to your problem. Likely the MAF sensor got oil on it over time. If you want to keep using the K&N, you would need to clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner spray periodically to avoid issues.
. @StandAloneState If the MAF gets fouled it throws a code, I did that once, but I think my cat got fouled from a misfire condition and bad A/F sensor. I may just stick to paper to remove that variable. I was told once that cleaning the MAF too often is bad - just stick with OEM...
@@girohead didn’t know that, but it makes sense. If you can keep cleaning the MAF sensor then the computer won’t have to keep adjusting air ratios all the time and messing with running lean/rich
I had my 928 suck up a plastic bag, cover over 1/2 the air filter, and caused it to have low power and stall when cold. Can't forget to mention the filter is massive, so much so VAG used it in the Bugatti Veyron.
Funny and informative, great video. 👍
I run FRAM Ultra synthetic oil filter plus Mobil 1 5w 30 ( not high millage Mobil1 it's a scam , costs more ) since new engine after nearly 300.000 km still runs like NEW no HP loss no smoke...great combo.
Nice one Scotty
The MAF sensor meters fuel according to the amount of air entering the engine. Less air, less fuel. The mileage stays the same. Performance will suffer a lot with a dirty filter, however
I had a custom intake i put together and I used some brand i forget now. But it was a cone and had a metal plate on the end. Well the inside part came off and lodged into my 2008 Tiburon v6 intake throttle butterfly valve. This caused it to stick open and my little car kept accelerating till i killed the engine and put it in neutral. I contacted the manufacturer and sent the. The filter. K&N had just aquired them and was a sub company or something so they sent me a brand new K&N filter. No metal cap thing.
Hey while you’re at change home furnace/air conditioner filter. 😉👍🏻
I've heard that the cleanable reusable oil infused air filters can cause problems with the mass air flow sensor. Is this true?
Have a k&n filter on my 07 h3. Oil residue from filter causes frequent maf sensor cleanings
I bought a used jeep JK once ran great, got under the hood and air filter box was packed with a packrat nest, I mean packed! Cleaned it out, no change

Welcome to the club. We have a special sandwich, whenever you're hungry 😁
Mr. Scotty Kilmer hello. I am trying to program a brand new replacement key fob for my 2001 Chevy Tahoe. As mentioned the key fob is brand new, with brand new working batteries. I have followed/repeated the entire insert key, hold down unlock button, turn ignition off/on twice, wait for the lock to cycle, press and hold lock/unlock on fob simultaneously. But the lock never cycles therefore the Tahoe never enters programming mode. As a side note, I know that the locks are capable of cycling. Because when I pull and hold the bright light lever while cycling the key twice to program my desired door lock/unlock sequence the locks will actually cycle, the same way that they should when programming the key fobs. Can you please share some troubleshooting steps that might help me diagnose why my Tahoe won't enter programming mode so that I can program my new key fobs? Thank you.
I know it never happened to anyone else, but the K&N filter oil fouled my MAF. Those 32 valve V8s do sound good with no filter.
My K & N filter appears to be defective ... missing parts of the cloth ... just metal screen left. NOT GOOD!
Scotty my 99 Honda Accord cf3 misfires when I’m using the a/c but when I turn the a/c off it drives normal
The synthetic(?) fibre type of air filter shown at 5:47 is likely amenable to cleaning with one of the air filter cleaner liquids (not oils). Would that be right? Also, am doubtful that I would see the sun through a clean one of these??
I have a 2008 Escalade 6.2 with tow option. When I select the tow function it runs like "scalded Ape". Isn't like adding a "Preformence Cip"?
Scotty I was checking mine on a 94 LeSabre and accidentally just left the box undone and everything was there filter and box only had a small leak and it made the car sound like a V8 and I was like what the heck is wrong with it. I just put it back 2gether and it sounds normal again. I was amazed. Lol
The best air filter to have is a clean one. I like washable ones. 20 to whatever a air filter cost can be the reason most never change them.
Re-usable filters don't restrict the air flow as much as much as paper, but let in TONS of crap during acceleration. Videos on TH-cam.
Reusable OIL filters do. K&N and AEM’s Dryflow filters do an excellent job at capturing contaminates.
Yes I had a weird one one time well I used to have a 1990 Toyota 4Runner with the 3.0 otherwise there was a 3-point slow well one time change the air filter I found a peanut m&m in the intake system I don't remember what color it was but I kind of want to know something how did that get there 🤔 I also remember as a kid my great-grandfather had a 1970 Buick LeSabre with a 455 he used to blow the air filter out with a leaf blower and then reinstall it and I didn't know if the time that was a good idea but you know now looking back at it I go wow that's probably not something you should do
Yeah, ... I was having MPG problems in a V8 Chevy van. Naturally the first thing I checked was the air filter, it look brand new.
N0T being able to pin point anything else I took the vehicle to my mechanic.
Much to my suprise when I picked the truck up I was shown a huge wad of pine needles that some rodent had deposited inside the tube leading from the air fi.ter to the fresh cool air outside the grill.
Vehicles with mass air flow sensors compensate for restricted air filters keeping optimized stochiometric fuel mixture. Fuel milage will drop on vehicles with carbs. Keep in mind many high flow filters do not filter fine dust.
I use K&N air filters on all my cars. Clean them every 15,000miles and have never had a problem. My old 1991 Pathfinder had 260,000 miles on it before the frame rusted through and had to junk it.
K&N are for more airflow, but don't filter very well. They do improve performance slightly but at what cost?
@@mplslawnguy3389 Well the frame broke on the Pathfinder, that wasn't the filter's fault. The engine was as strong the day my son traded it on a new car as it was at 9,000 miles when I switched to synthetic oil.
Wow ! I didn't know you were a fan of electronic music !
"Hold on to the Rope" by "nothanks" plays at the end (according to Shazam). ;-)
🤔 A dirty air filter will lower the power, but I’m pretty confident that the O2 and maf sensors will detect less oxygen and airflow. The computer will adjust the fuel air ratio automatically so it won’t run rich or get less gas mileage. Of course that’s if you have a fuel injected car, which most are nowadays.
Yeah I had a grease rag get sucked up in my intake on a turbocharged car. Couldn't figure out why it had no power. Then it made it up the tube and covered the filter before I figured it out
Another great video. The question I have is, what type of air filter filters the air the best. I've heard that the cotton/oil filters while increase HP don't filter as well as say paper filters.
Mr. Scotty has stated that the OEM Filter designed for your car is the best that you could use! The K&N types of re-usable Filters are more free flowing, but will clog up unbelievably quick in dusty environments. They could also be “over-oiled” by accident after they’re cleaned, which could fry your expensive MAF Sensor 😅 I used to be all for using Cold Air Intakes in my Cars for the sound.. but these days, my almost 300k mile V8 4Runner only uses OEM Filters for everything!!
Scotty: The engine air filter is one of the easiest parts to change
Me: Owns a Ford Focus 😢
Worked on a 2009 Ford Focus with that dumb “lifetime” air filter; tucked behind the front bumper. Replaced the whole system with a regular intake system that uses the reusable filters and much more easier to replace.
PZEV OEM intake to a non PZEV OEM intake system.
I've seen them with 190k miles and not even budging the low flow sensor. They do seem to be lifetime. People want to be able to see and change their air filter, but you don't really need to. Ford went back to paper filters because people want to replace their filter. I'd rather have a no change Air filter on a focus with an inline fuel filter than a no change gas filter that sits in the pump like on many cars.
Yes I guy brought in his air filter from a 1968 ford truck. First time its ever been changed. in 31 years. Is that ok. He said it was running a little sluggish.
Can you give some examples of stainless steel air filters and what their cleaning procedures are??? Also do you recommend afe or K&n air filters. ???
Unless you have the resources of a NASCAR team and can rebuild your engine every 1000 miles stay away from a stainless steel filter. It is not capable of filtering fine dust. True racing filters have minimal filter efficiency, they keep out large debris only
