The Air Filter is the first "protective barrier" of a car engine. It is responsible for filtering impurities such as dust, pollen and sand particles in the air to ensure that the air entering the engine is clean and stable.
The correct selection of air filters can not only enhance vehicle performance but also significantly extend the engine's lifespan.

Precisely match according to the vehicle model

The first criterion for choosing an air filter element is the model of the vehicle.

The filter element size, shape and interface structure of each model are different. If there is a dimensional deviation or the seal is not tight, it will lead to:

Unfiltered air bypasses into the engine

Abnormal intake volume

The engine operates unstably or even gets damaged

Suggestion

Subject to the original factory Number (OE Number)

Or precisely match by vehicle model + year
For example: 17801-21060 (commonly used models of Toyota)

Look at the material of the filter paper: the core of filtration efficiency

The filtration effect of the air filter element is mainly determined by the filter paper.

Wood pulp filter paper (conventional

High cost performance

The filtration effect is stable.

Suitable for most vehicle usage environments

Synthetic fiber Filter Paper (High Efficiency)

High filtration efficiency

It has better moisture resistance

Have a longer lifespan

Nanofiber filter Paper (High-End)

It can filter out smaller particles

More durable and efficient filtration

It is used in high-demand or high-dust environments

Selection suggestion
Ordinary family cars → wood pulp or synthetic fibers
High dust, off-road, taxi → high-efficiency or nanofiber filter paper

Check the balance between the filtration efficiency and the resistance

The quality of an air filter should not only be judged by its filtration efficiency, but also by the balance of "efficiency + resistance".

High filtration efficiency

✔ Block more dust
✔ Better protection for the engine

Low resistance

✔ Large air flow
The engine runs more smoothly
✔ Lower fuel consumption

An excellent air filter element should meet:
Dual standards of high filtration and no impact on air intake.

Check the origami structure: It is related to the lifespan and performance

The air filter element increases the filtration area through origami. The more scientific the origami, the better the effect.

Key points for selection:

The origami is neat.

Uniform spacing

The height of the fold is reasonable

There is no deformation or collapse

Excellent origami can ensure:

The filtration area is larger

Have a longer lifespan

It is not easily flattened and affects the airflow
