Is this air filter still usable? (pix inside)

[Psylocke]

Mileage is just 6000 kms. 1 year old.

Still looks quite clean... Do I replace or keep using?

[1D4LV]

questions...

1. magkano isa nyan na orig/oem?
2. magkano replacement nyan?

kung mura replacement nyan, make sure it is replaced regularly. malaki effect nyan sa takbo ng oto.

kung original yan and let's say, tig 2000 petot ang isa. i would still recommend a 5000 kms change. kung talagang mabigat ang price, thorough cleaning na lang.

pero as is, dapat pinapalitan yan ng bago every 5000 kms. kaya dapat makakita ka ng replacement nyan...

sir psylocke, please refer to your owner's manual. i think the air filter element should be replaced at 10K kilometers,(not sure though. i've forgotten since i switched to washable filters). if not 20K kilometers.

[chris_d]

Sa akin replace every 40k or 2 years.

[chris_d]

To answer your question, usable pa yan in my opinion.

pwede po bang linisin na lang ito tapos gamitin ulet? hehe

pang linis like compressed water blast.

Buy replacement and replace at every oil change. No need to remember to replace or not, tipid pa! hehehe.

I use magic marker (pentel pen) and write the date/mileage installed on vehicle filters.

disposable OEM air filters usually last between 10K to 20K km.

disposable OEM air filters usually last between 10K to 20K km.

yup. or around 6 months. so sa akin kasama na yang palit (replacement though) every 10000 kms or 6 months.

high pressure air would do. but never high pressure water.

you could do that in the service station where there is a hydraulic lift- i used to do it whenever bring my vehicles in the service station for underwash.

re: high pressure air... wag nyo bugahan directly... baka ma damage yung filter member kasi.

re: replacement filter... our long-time suking mekaniko discourages me from buying replacement filter as many are cheaply made and have poor filtering capabilities.

The air filter of my Innova Gas was replaced at 30,000 kms.

Based on the pic, highly reusable pa yan pre.

K&N isn't exactly the poster boy for filtering power. It is freeflowing but can also foul MAF sensors.

The usual problem I have encountered with replacements is more related to getting clogged up (even this is a rare occurence). That's why I just replace more often. Elementary pa lang ako replacements na gamit namin, wala pa naman problems (yung mga sasakyan namin nung elementary ako, nandito pa din).

Nung sinilip ko yung Ford nina CarGirl, sa sobrang tagal nang hindi napalitan yung air cleaner, nagkabutas na allowing unfiltered air into the carb. This required a carb rebuild.

as long as walang punit ok pa yan. malinis pa naman.

[BlueBimmer]

naku ok pa yan, sayang lang kung palitan mo

LOL If you use compressed water to blast at your air cleaner, super linis yan! As in no filter element left.

[Horsepower]

hehehehe, thanks for the advise, at least i wont be wasting any air filter in the future. mas maganda talaga nagtatanong muna. :D

[baiskee]

yep...based on your pic. malinis pa...pwede pa yan.
