Air Filters Ensure Clean Air for Combustion

By: Anthony Fontanelle

In an internal combustion engine, air is an important element because it is burned with fuel to generate power for a vehicle. The air that enters the engine compartment must be free from impurities, dust, and dirt to ensure a more efficient fuel burning. The Jaguar air filter is strategically placed behind the grille where the air from the outside first passes through. This location enables the air filter to eliminate contaminants in the air first before it travels to other engine parts. Thus, all vehicles are equipped with air filters. For Jaguar vehicles, the Jaguar air filter is the key to efficient combustion and clean emissions.

Due to the important role that air filters play in the combustion process, these devices are made of various durable materials. An air filter made of pleated paper filter element is cost-effective and easy to clean when contaminants pile up. Paper filters are also disposable. Oil-wetted polyurethane foam element is another air filter material that can trap a lot of contaminants. It also offers minimal restriction on airflow, making it an ideal air filter material for motorsport applications.

The is designed to endure pressure from trapped dirt, but it eventually wears out because of accumulation of contaminants. To know if the Jaguar air filter has to be changed, it must be inspected every three months. A clogged air filter must be replaced right away to prevent engine failure, which largely affects the overall performance of a Jaguar vehicle. Air filters are usually changed every 4,000 miles or less. The good thing about replacing air filters is that it is inexpensive and easy to do. With a new Jaguar air filter, the engine can perform better than before. Improved car performance and fuel mileage are the other benefits of a newly-installed Jaguar air filter.
