The Filter Minder® filter monitoring device makes it easy for you to tell when it's time to change filters.
The myth is that an automotive air filter should be changed about every 6,000 miles, or when it "looks dirty."
The fact is that a certain amount of dirt in an air filter actually increases its filtering efficiency by reducing the size of the holes in the filter media which helps stop smaller dirt particles.
This means that instead of a maximum life of 6,000 miles, the typical air filter may actually last anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 miles!
