I recently bought a Kia Sorento and I want to make sure I properly maintain it. How often should I change the air filter on my car and what happens if I don't replace it regularly?
ReplyIt is recommended to replace the air filter in your Kia Sorento every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or once a year. But this can vary depending on your driving habits and the conditions you drive in, so it's important to check your owner's manual for more specific guidelines. If you don't change the air filter regularly, it can lead to decreased engine performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and potential damage to your engine.
As a Kia Sorento owner, I can tell you from experience that it's important to stay on top of regular maintenance tasks like changing the air filter. Not only does it keep your engine running smoothly, but it also improves air quality within the vehicle. I recommend marking your calendar or setting a reminder to change the air filter every year or every 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
I have been a mechanic for 20 years and the air filter is a crucial component of your car's engine. If you neglect to change it regularly, you run the risk of damaging your engine and having to pay for costly repairs. Don't skip out on this simple maintenance task and stay on top of it every year.
