If your engine has been running a little rough, it might be time for some routine engine maintenance. A Subaru air cleaner assembly keeps the air going into your engine clean. It catches dirt, dust, and other debris in the air that could hurt your engine. The assembly includes an air filter and a housing that holds the filter in place.

Why Clean Air Matters to Your Subaru Engine

Whether you commute in a WRX sedan or adventure in an Outback, Subaru needs clean air to run its best. Dirty air can damage engine parts and make your car run poorly. It can even lead to costly repairs. The air cleaner assembly stops this by trapping harmful particles and debris before they get into the engine.

How Often Does My Subaru Air Cleaner Need to be Replaced?

Over time, the air filter gets clogged up with all the gunk it's caught. A dirty filter makes it harder for your engine to get the air it needs. Most mechanics say to replace your air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Your owner's manual will tell you what Subaru recommends for your specific model. You may even want to consider switching our your fuel filter at the same time.

Genuine Subaru OEM vs Aftermarket

When it's time for a new air cleaner assembly, choose a genuine Subaru OEM part. Subaru designs their air cleaners to work perfectly with your car's engine and fuel system. Aftermarket brands might not fit as well or use lower-quality materials that aren't as durable. Want to keep your Subaru running strong?
