The
engine air filter is a simple, yet important part of your vehicle’s overall health. It is recommend by Bernardi Honda to replace your Honda engine air filter every 30,000 miles. In order for your vehicle to operate most efficiently, it needs to breathe clean air. Clean air and higher efficiency leads to extra savings on fuel costs!
An engine runs on a mixture of fuel and air. Air coming into the engine first passes through the filter. Its job is to prevent particles and dirt from getting into the engine, preventing damage. If an engine is not getting enough air, it puts added strain on the engine and can cause a lot of harm. Remember, a clogged or dirty air filter will also rob a vehicle of power.
It is always best to check your own Honda’s air filter to see if it needs to be changed more regularly. If you live in a dusty area, perhaps with dirt roads, it may require being changed more frequently. Also, if the vehicle is parked for long periods of time, it’s always good to check the Honda air filter as mice love to nestle in this area. We have seen many cases in our shop of a “mouse house” right on the air filter. We would recommend inspecting at least once a year or every 12,000 miles.
Every Genuine Honda air filter is made to the exact vehicle specifications of that particular model. This includes fitment and air flow. Fitment is important because you don’t want an area left open so debris can pass into the engine. The other important aspect is the Genuine Honda air filter allows just the right amount of air to pass through. As we said, an engine needs clean air and fuel to operate. But it needs the right amount of air. Each Honda air filter is essentially calibrated to allow the correct amount of air to pass into the engine. The incorrect amount of air passing through and engine can lead to a check engine light coming on in some models.
For these reasons Bernardi always recommends using a Genuine Honda air filter. Remember, Honda backs every new vehicle with a warranty. You can be sure that any part they make will be made with top quality in order to keep an engine running for longer.
