It takes a large amount of oxygen to burn a little quantity of fuel in the combustion process. Considering the entire operation of the engine, your Mercedes AMG consumes a very huge amount of air during the entire combustion process. This air comes from the outside environment and is inhaled by the engine through your Mercedes AMG air intake system. The intake system is composed of the air filter at the outermost end and the cold air intake going into the engine.

The efficiency of combustion does not only depend on the amount of air or fuel, but with several factors as well, including the temperature and the cleanliness of air used during the process. Your Mercedes AMG air filter is the component responsible in keeping the air that goes into your engine as clean as possible. It functions by filtering the air that goes through it, keeping the dirt and solid particles off the intake system while the air continuously flows in.
