If it is not able to breathe deeply and thoroughly, it cannot give sufficient power to the rest of the vehicle's systems. To prevent this from being a serious problem, here are some signs to watch out for:
One of the first problems you will encounter when dealing with a faulty air filter is that your vehicle may not perform as well as it used to be. Before blaming the engine or the exhaust system, it is advised to check the condition of your air filter first. If it is clogged, the vacuum pressure used by the engine cylinders for the combustion process weakens. This in turn will take in less air from the outside, which would then create less power for the vehicle. If unchecked, your car would have a much less maximum speed, due to the engine requiring an increasing amount of airflow as the rpm goes up.
Another common problem you will notice when dealing with troubled air filters is the amount of gas you use when traveling. If you see that you are consuming more and more gas to reach the same distance, then it may be a simple case of a dirty air filter. For the engine to operate at maximum efficiency, it needs to have the correct air-to-fuel ratio. When the airflow becomes bottlenecked, it forces the engine to work much harder just to achieve its normal power. This, of course, drains fuel much faster, causing the mileage issue. Since most vehicles nowadays utilize fuel-injected engines, the drop in fuel economy may not be obvious. Even so, these little inconveniences could pile up and suddenly transform into major headaches later on.
Lastly, when your vehicle sputters or stall, and you know it is not because of the ignition system, then there might be an air intake problem. Because of the incorrect air-to-fuel ratio a broken air filter makes, excess fuel could still reside in the cylinders. This makes the combustion process very inefficient and causes your car to hesitate when accelerating.
The air filter of your Honda Pilot needs to be as clean and clog-free as possible in order for it, as well as the engine, to work at maximum efficiency. When clogged or blocked, engine performance is greatly hampered, not to mention bigger car problems might arise. Thus, it is recommended to do some regular maintenance to it. Here are a few tips to keep your vehicle airflow as smooth as possible:
Shake it off.
The first, not to mention the easiest, thing you should do when doing maintenance for your air filter is by simply taking the part out, and tapping it against the car bumper, a wall, or any solid surface. Doing so will cause the huge clumps of dirt and dust balls to easily fall out of the air filter. This simple act would greatly enhance the flow of air towards the engine, which would immensely improve car performance. Just remember to not whack it too hard, else the housing might break or you might accidently damage the filters.
Vacuum with care.
Before vacuuming the air filter pleats and the chambers, make sure that the vacuum you use has a narrow attachment. Wide-gapped hoses will give a hard time getting into the nooks and crannies of the filter, as well as having the possibility of internal components getting ripped out. This maintenance procedure should take you only a minute or so to do. This will also help your car in the long run in terms of efficiency and fuel economy.
Wash it thoroughly.
For the most complete maintenance course, prepare a bucket filled with a mix of hot water and dishwashing detergent, as well as a rag. Wipe off any grime that still managed to stick to the air filter after the vacuum treatment. Be careful not to wipe too hard, or you might deform the filter. After that, submerge the whole part into the bucket and give it a good shake. Switch and swirl it for around five minutes or so, to make sure that the detergent manages to get into every part inside the air filter. Rinse it with water coming from a low to medium pressure hose. Let it dry before applying spray lubricant.
