Kia Air Filter Replacement Service

Keeping your Kia air filter clean is crucial to keep your vehicle’s engine running smoothly. The air filter prevents the engine from being damaged by dust, dirt, or other debris.

A clogged air filter can negatively affect your vehicle’s performance which is why Rosen Kia Milwaukee is here to go over some signs to look for when it’s time to replace your Kia’s air filter.

Signs Your Air Filter Needs to be Replaced

One of the first obvious signs is to have a look at your air filter to see if it has turned black or brown due to it being contaminated by dirt, dust, or debris. Brand new air filters appear to be nearly white so you’ll be able to tell if yours has seen better days with a simple visual inspection.

Other signs you need to clean or replace your air filter include:

• A decrease in gas mileage because a dirty air filter can cause reduced oxygen flow causing your vehicle to burn more fuel to compensate.
• If your car has a hard starting or you have to make multiple attempts to rev the engine for it to get going there could be a low air to fuel ratio causing the problem
• Strange engine noises could be caused by polluted spark plugs which also occurs if your air filter isn’t properly filtering out dust and debris.
• Flames or black smoke from the exhaust pipe can also be caused by a dirty filter because the oxygen struggles to reach the engine which can result in fuel leaking through the system and out of the exhaust pipe.
