The frequency of air filter replacement depends on driving conditions. In areas with a lot of dust, like parts of Pakistan, the air filter in your Suzuki Alto may clog faster. Regular replacement is essential to ensure proper engine performance and fuel efficiency.

General Guidelines for Replacing the Air Filter:

Every 15,000 to 30,000 Kilometers: Under normal driving conditions, the air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 kilometers.
More Frequently in Dusty Conditions: If you live in an area with heavy dust o r pollution, consider replacing the air filter every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers to ensure optimal performance.
Check for Clogging More Often: If youre unsure when to replace the filter, its a good idea to inspect it every 10,000 kilometers o r during routine service to determine if it needs replacing sooner.
Solution:

Inspect the Air Filter: Remove the air filter and hold it up to a light source. If light doesn’t pass through o r if it’s visibly clogged with dirt, it’s time for a replacement.
Preventative Measures: Avoid driving through excessively dusty areas when possible, and always check the filter if youre noticing performance issues o r reduced fuel efficiency.
