I was always taught that if you can see light thru the filter media, the filter does not need replacing. Now they say to replace them every 12,000 miles.
Can somone explain to me how dirty can a paper air filter get until it restricts airflow enough to cause engine performance to suffer?
What is a good guideline to tell if replacement of air filter is needed?
