Generally speaking, it is recommended to change it every 20,000 kilometers. If it is in a harsh environment (construction site, desert), it is recommended to change it every 10,000 kilometers. It depends on your vehicle usage environment.
If the vehicle usage environment is relatively good, then take it out for inspection after 10,000 kilometers. If it is dirty, change it. If it is not dirty, it is not a big problem if you do not change it.
If the vehicle usage environment is not good, never take it out for inspection after 10,000 kilometers. Basically, take it out for inspection after 5,000 kilometers.
If you often drive in dusty areas at construction sites, the inspection time of the air filter may be shortened to 3,000 kilometers. You can take it out for inspection. If it is dirty, you must change it. If it is not too dirty, it is recommended that you take out the air filter and pat it. You can also use it for a while after patting off the dust.
But here we need to pay attention to one thing. Don’t use a high-pressure air gun to blow it, because after the high-pressure air gun is blown, the fiber filter layer in the air filter will be destroyed by the high-speed airflow of the high-pressure air gun. The originally small filter inside will become larger like a sieve after being blown with a high-pressure air gun.
In addition, it is recommended that you buy and replace it online. If you don’t know how, you can search for tutorials online. It is very simple and it is also good to save some money by replacing it yourself.
