The air filter is only at first glance a cheap and simple consumable. In practice, this is the result of an incredible amount of research and development work.
The problem of car parts, sometimes the simplest, has not disappeared from the Russian market: the shelves are littered with counterfeits and “analogues”, which in three cases out of three are no better than this fake. In some situations, this is not scary, unless you need to change it much more often. But an air filter is a whole different story.
The trick is that the operation of the entire engine, which is by default the car’s most expensive unit, relies on this once cheap ‘consumable’. The air supply is closely related to the formation of the fuel mixture, and along with oxygen everything else enters the cylinders: dust, dirt, sand and much more. And to protect the engine from all this, you need a filter.
In Russia, the roads are very dirty, so the “sky” has to work for three. And they change it in the same way as everything else: once every 10,000 km. And here it is also worth remembering that not only different models and modifications of machines are provided for different markets, but also different spare parts, which need to be adapted in a global sense for use in different natural areas and “sharpened” for their specific characteristics. But even original parts are largely parallel imports in today’s Russia. Problem!
An experienced driver will say that in times when the sun was shining brighter and the girls were prettier, air filters had, among other things, a stretched thin synthetic called a pre-cleaner. She also met about the “consumables” for the “Lada” and for foreign cars. Its task is to collect large debris, which quickly clogs the filter, forcing the engine to “enrich” the mixture.
Finding a piece of padding polyester – a synthetic material that does a great job at coarsely purifying the air – is not a problem, even at home you will find it in the closet. It is what is glued to the filter so that it spends the allotted time without consequences and does not “give up” ahead of time.
With such refinement, even a questionable filter element will last longer than usual and better cope with its direct task. Thanks to him, the engine receives the necessary air-fuel mixture in the right amount, and the driver does not have to pour fuel, which unnecessarily increases in price every day. Gain!
