The Air Filter Recharge Kit Recharges Interior Cleanliness


The Air Filter Recharge Kit Recharges Interior Cleanliness

Air filters can be considered as the first line of defense against particles harmful to both the vehicle passengers and engine system. These filters, located beneath the hood and the dashboard, screen and sift the air that enters the interior compartment of a vehicle. Thus, the air circulating throughout the car becomes free of any damaging elements such as dust, bacteria, and molds. An air filter also takes part in improving horsepower, engine air flow, performance, and gas mileage. Over time and countless usage, however, its ability to deliver clean air tends to be unstable due to accumulation of dirt and foreign substances within its system. Thus, air filter recharge kits are made available in the market.

The air filter recharge kit, as its name implies, recharges the efficiency of the air filter component. This is especially essential when the car has already run for about 15,000 to 20,000 miles. This road mileage is equal to the duration of the air filter’s battle with pollutants. After such time has elapsed, the stock air filters of the car may already be filled with dirt. The only viable solution is to use the recharge kit, which serves as the air filter’s specialized cleaning agent. The air filter recharge kit is designed to be tough on dirt but gentle enough not to mess up the filtration medium. The air filter recharge kit normally comes with 12- to14-ounce bottle of cleaning solution intended for the washing process, as well as a 5.5/6.5/8.0-ounce bottle of air filter oil for the re-oiling procedure. Car owners need not fret on the proper handling of the recharge kit, as an easy to follow, step-by-step instruction manual is usually included in the package. Depending on the strict use and the volume of the solution set, the air filter recharge kit can last for up to two to seven cleanings, equivalent to additional tens of thousand miles of reliable service.

With such innovation introduced in the market, there is hardly an excuse to suffer the vehicular complications of a filthy air filter. As the air filter recharge kit assists in the performance of a vehicle, it cannot just be considered as an optional tool but as a necessity as well.
