Why You Should Replace the Air Filter on Your Microcar – Guide

The air filter is one of the most essential wear parts in a microcar. It protects the engine from dust, dirt, and debris. When the filter becomes clogged, airflow to the engine is reduced, resulting in lower performance and higher fuel consumption. In the worst case, it can even cause costly engine damage.

Swedish Road Conditions Cause Extra Wear

In Sweden, air filters face especially tough conditions due to:

  • Road salt and slush during winter
  • Pollen, gravel, and dust in spring
  • Moist conditions that can quickly clog the filter

For this reason, we recommend checking your air filter every year and replacing it at least once annually – more often if you drive frequently.

Benefits of Regular Air Filter Replacement

  • Improved engine performance
  • Better fuel efficiency
  • Cleaner exhaust and reduced emissions
  • Longer engine lifespan
