Introduction
The following repair guide will present a clear and illustrated process on how drivers can replace their engine air filter for a 2018 Toyota Corolla. An engine air filter replacement is required for cars to operate smoothly and extend their lifespan. Without proper replacements, vehicles may have restricted engine air flow. Built-up amounts of dust and debrief can cause an air and dirt mixture to fill your engine. Following this guide can prevent these issues from occurring.
This repair is not timely or financially costly.
Drivers should replace their engine filters every 15,000 to 30,000 miles depending on the environments driven in. Some signs that you may need an engine replacement are if the engine filter cannot pass light through when held up to the sun, the check engine light is flashing, or if your vehicle is using more fuel than it is putting out. Some tools required for this repair are the proper air filter for the car model, gloves, a face mask, and a clean rag. The proper air filter can be found in the owner's manual for your car.
The repair is easy for new beginners to learn. Ensure that you are carefully following along and double-checking your steps to successfully replace your car engine air filter.
