| What
the Air Filter Does... |
Like oil filters, air filters can be easily
overlooked. They often don't get replaced until they are absolutely
clogged with dirt and soot. To help keep a vehicle running well,
and to protect the intake system from premature wear, it's important
to change the air filter in your vehicle at the proper intervals.
The air filter removes soot, carbon, abrasives and other contaminants
from the air before the air mixes with fuel in the engine induction
system. If allowed to get inside the engine, even microscopic
dust particles can damage cylinder walls, pistons and piston
rings. Since as much as 10,000 gallons of air must pass through
the air filter for every gallon of fuel the engine burns, WIX
quality air filters -- available for virtually every vehicle
-- lengthen engine life by preventing the introduction of damaging
foreign particles to the fuel mix. Our comprehensive line of
quality air filters encompasses various applications, both stationary
and vehicular for both on and off-road applications.
