Clean intake air is essential to ensure the efficient
operation of an engine and to prevent premature engine wear. Any abrasive
particles such as dirt, grit, salt and soot entering the engine will mix with
the engine oil. This result in a 'grinding paste' which can rapidly cause
expensive damage to engine friction surfaces. The only means of preventing the
ingress of harmful contaminants is through the use of efficient and reliable
air filters.
MANN-FILTER air filters ensure that the engine receives a sufficient
volume of clean air to efficiently maintain the correct air/fuel ratio, while
providing an exceptionally high level of protection. An insufficient volume of
air will cause ineffective combustion such as increased fuel consumption and
performance loss.
Electronic components, such as the highly delicate 'hot wire'
or 'air mass' sensors located between the air filter and the combustion
chamber, also require a high degree of protection in order for them to transmit
accurate data to the engine management system. Impaired operation due to damage
caused by high velocity contaminants can result in expensive consequences.
MANN-FILTER air filters have other important functions too, such as
reduction of intake noise and the regulation of engine air temperature.
Important note: All filters have a finite life. To
ensure optimum engine protection, filters should be replaced in accordance with
the vehicle or engine manufacturers service intervals or recommendations.
