My local dealership charges $60 for an engine filter and $80 for a cabin air filter! I can get those for $12 and $20 respectively at the local auto parts store and they both take about a minute to install. If I ever have a mechanic try to sell me an air filter replacement, I politely decline their offer to rip me off and then check and replace it myself the next day.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975270831525992560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-35609066232866729812011-10-10T17:59:14.666-06:002011-10-10T17:59:14.666-06:00I presume the engine will be running rich - if the...I presume the engine will be running rich - if the ECU can't adapt to the changing lambda values. Either way, the engine won't be running at its top efficiency so will indeed have lower mpg. More seriously, if it's really clogged, dirt will get sucked through the filter and wear out the engine inside.Klaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099160707555168575noreply@blogger.com
