If we already have a car air intake and maybe a cold car air intake and all the systems in our car look perfectly run, but our car is still not having a maximal performance, it will be better for us to start checking small things like car air intake filter. It is because the air filter is the one that determine the air intake quality that will influence that performance of our car. Therefore, it will be better for us to open the hood and check the air filter that located on the top of our car engine. If the filter is quite dirty or so dirty, then it definitely becomes the source of our dissatisfying on the car performance.
Cleaning air filter is so easy. Once we have lifted the filter from air intake, we can tap or blow the filter to remove the big particles. Before we start the cleaning, make sure to prepare a special cleaning solution that we can buy in the market or car accessories store. We should mix the cleaner with warm water to get effective cleaning result. After the solution is mixed with water, then we can dip the air filter and soak it for about 10 to 20 minutes. When we have sure that the air filter is clean or the water started to get dirty, then we can take the air filter out of the bucket. However, if our air filter is too dirty and one time dipping is not enough, then we can repeat the action using new warm water and cleaner. When the air filter is clean, then next thing to do is drying it. We can hang, put the air filter under the sun or use hairdryer to dry it up. One thing we should remember, make sure that the air filter is perfectly dry before we place it on the air intake because if the air filter is still wet, it can damage the engine.
With the simple cleaning, we can enhance our car performance, comfort and even horsepower. Before we even think about cleaning the air filters, make sure that the air filters can be washed like one from K&N.
