Engine Air Filter at #4430 Pro Oil, 341 Guelph Street, Unit A

Over time, your car's engine air filter collects dirt and debris (even bugs) and eventually needs to be replaced.

If your air filer gets too dirty or clogged, your engine won't be able to suck enough air into the combustion chambers and your 'Check Engine' warning light may come on. Your local Pro Oil Technician, located at 341 Guelph Street, Unit A, can help diagnose the problem and replace any dirty filters. The engine will then run rich (too much gas and not enough air). When this happens, your vehicle may lose power and the engine may not run smoothly.

Your vehicle may stop running altogether if you really neglect the air filter for a long time. Permanent damage is unlikely, but it is possible. Sufficiently dirty or damaged air filters would allow harmful, abrasive contaminants into the combustion chamber.
