Do you know that an air filter helps a lot in pushing the engine to its maximum performance? It doesn’t have the capacity to boost power, neither the ability to generate additional torque and workhorse. But by simply ensuring clean air intake, a Mercedes Benz 190E air filter is able to help produce higher amount of power. And if matched with high-performance Mercedes Benz 190E cold air intake, this simple air strainer will do excellent job.
Air filter is designed to catch every dirt and contaminant which the air intake breathes. You might actually consider its job not too hefty. But think again. Every gallon of fuel that your engine uses in the combustion process needs almost 10,000 gallons of air. Imagine how much contaminant your Mercedes Benz 190E engine would get without an air filter. Considering that, you probably have a vivid picture of how dirty the air filter would become after several miles. In order to keep its air straining efficiency, the air filter must be replaced after running around 20,000 miles. Because if it’s already grimy and discolored, free airflow will be restricted, affecting the amount of fuel and air mixture.
