Can my engine air filter be cleaned instead of replaced?
It depends on the type of filter. Standard paper air filters are meant to be replaced, since cleaning can damage the material and let dirt through.
Some vehicles use a reusable filter that is made to be washed and re-oiled, and those can be cleaned and reused. Our team at Bernhard Auto Works can tell you which kind your vehicle has and handle it the right way. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
How often should the engine air filter be replaced?
Engine filters can last anywhere from one and up to a several years, but it varies with your vehicle and where you drive.

Can a dirty air filter turn on my check engine light?
It can, in some cases. A badly clogged air filter throws off the air-to-fuel mix enough that the engine's sensors may flag it, though a filter is only one of many possible triggers.
