When it comes to the best Maserati parts for your vehicle, Zeigler Maserati has you covered. The more you know about the important parts in your Maserati vehicle, the easier it will be to get the care your car needs. Here’s a look at one of the essential parts you’ll find in your vehicle, the air filter.

Air Filters at a Glance

Your vehicle has many different filters, but they all help to protect the vehicle’s engine and keep the car safe from the dirt and debris of the road. Like the oil filter, the air filter collects up the dirt from the air before it damages the engine, so you can continue to drive with peace of mind.

Here are a few signs that it’s time to replace your vehicle’s air filter:

  • The Check Engine Light Comes On: There are many reasons the check engine like might come on, but a dirty air filter is a common one. Check your air filter to see if that turns the light off.
  • Your Vehicle Isn’t Running Efficiently: If you notice that your car’s efficiency is going down or that your horsepower is lower than usual, a dirty air filter may be the reason why. Improve your efficiency with a clean air filter.
  • Your Exhaust is Dirty: Dirty or sooty exhaust may be a sign that your air filter is saturated and no longer able to collect up debris. If you notice your exhaust is dirtier than usual, it may be a time for a new filter.
  • The Filter is Dirty: Sometimes, the best way to tell the state of your filter is to check it out. If the filter is observably dirty, it’s time for a new one.
