I work at an auto parts store, I bet we will start selling more air filters tomorrow morning HAHAHA I'm glad I saw this, I need to change my air filter 😅 pronto

I have an engine air filter horror story - two years ago when forest fire smoke blanketed where I live my engine air filter had to be replaced TWICE in a single month. the soot and particulate in the air clogged the new air filter with only 20 hours of running time. Brutal.

The other neglected, is the air intake hose, if it leaks/torn it tends to absorb the hot air from the engine compartment which also has less oxygen/expanded air and leads to reduced mileage/high consumption. Check your air intake hose too. I learned it the hard way.

Lol so old school air filters were basicly bongs for cars😂 wonder how they got the idea💨💨

These are my favorite of yours Scotty; a single topic explained in historic and scientific detail!

I used to work for this house to house service business and my boss was such a cheapskate that he never had me replace the air filter on my service truck. I was instructed to clean it with a vacuum cleaner occasionally to save money on filters. So stupid but it was his choice. He was the boss.

Good timing on this. I just washed and re-oiled mine today. That came as part of the oil change, check all the fluids, and a lube.

So what is this "NEW FILTER" you were referring to that makes more horsepower???

[DineshJ]

Scotty, you're a true professional and in a league of your own. As a fellow engineer, I SALUTE YOU SIR!

Just bought an '08 CRV. First thing did was oil change oil filter air filter and cabin filter. All oem except for the oil which was synthetic! Expect my car might just outlast me lol. Since did brake fluid coolant and power steering fluid. Doing differential fluid next week! Thank you Scotty for the good advise!

My 318 ci . Dodge really struggled to pull our loaded down 24 ft 1984 Frolic camper . I installed a K&N air filter and had dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, helped enormously .

Love your videos and your dynamic personality. No nonsense! I recently purchased a 2006 Mercedes SLK 350. convertible. I've been watching your videos for DIY tips.

ThankYou Scotty for reaffirming many things I’ve heard while being owner of vehicles ( Japanese mostly) since 1986 when I got my first car Daihatsu Charade in 1986. Apart from the second car that was a Honda Civic, I’ve stuck to Toyota till this day.
I own a JDM Mark X ‘06 right now and love it’s 2.5 litre V6 engine. Then I have my classic 80 series LC, beat up but still working.
My other one being Prado120 series ‘05 with the 2.7 lite VVTI 4 cylinder banger.
We in our country have mostly JDM cars imported, or recently Hyundai, Kia, Proton, MG and other Chinese products that I don’t remember the. Names of, came to Pakistan recently in our market to assemble vehicles here.

This is one component that I see techs neglect every day in shops🙄

Knowledge doesn't depreciate like my car. Scotty's two cents are priceless.
