As urban construction continues to develop, the demand for heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles in logistics, industry and tourism is also gradually increasing. As heavy trucks become more and more popular, people’s understanding of heavy trucks is gradually deepening, and vehicle maintenance is receiving more and more attention. Whether it is SINOTRUK or SHACMAN brand, in the maintenance of heavy trucks, regular replacement of air filters is one of the important links to ensure the long-term healthy operation of the engine. The necessity of regular replacement of air filters and the importance of replacement cycles are something that all truck users must pay attention to.
The air filter is one of the important components of the truck engine. Its main function is to filter impurities and particles in the air to prevent them from entering the engine. Clean air can ensure sufficient engine combustion, improve fuel utilization, and can also reduce wear and damage to internal engine parts. Therefore, the effectiveness of the air filter is directly related to the performance and life of the engine.
The air contains various particles, dust and impurities. If these impurities enter the interior of the engine, they will cause wear and tear on key components such as the engine cylinder wall, cylinder and piston, and even cause engine failure in severe cases. Regularly replacing the air filter element can effectively prevent these impurities from entering the engine and protect the healthy operation of the engine.
Clean air ensures full combustion of fuel and improves engine fuel economy. If the air filter element is not replaced for a long time, the air flow will be blocked, which will lead to incomplete combustion, increase fuel consumption, and reduce fuel economy.
Neglecting to replace the air filter element for a long time will cause wear and damage to the internal parts of the engine, increasing maintenance costs. Regular replacement of the air filter can reduce the occurrence of these problems, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the engine.
Depending on mileage: It is usually recommended to replace the air filter every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers.
Based on usage time: It is recommended to replace the air filter at least every 12 months.
Root environmental conditions: The above two are based on the premise that the environmental conditions are good. If the vehicle often drives in a dusty and polluted environment, the replacement cycle may need to be shortened to ensure the normal operation and protection of the engine.
