Genuine Mazda Protege Air Filter

The Protege Air Filter from Mazda helps protect the engine because dust and debris are never introduced to the engine parts since the incoming air is filtered. Each gallon of gasoline requires about ten thousand gallons of clean air, and thus the pleated paper media in the filter, like a fine mask, filter the particles before they can scar the cylinders in the Mazda engine, foul sensors, or cut power. Captured dirt forms a thick layer over the miles that restricts the airflow, which can deny the car acceleration and fuel economy, and therefore it is important to change it as soon as possible. In the earlier generations, the round dry paper component was placed up above the carburetor, and in the later fuel-injected models the component has a flat shape and is placed inside an air box situated at a distance with a plastic duct that connects it with the throttle body; the design is the same with the same basic mission, just that it is placed differently and in form. When full of dirt, the device can no longer allow the Mazda to breathe, and a few clips and a wing nut will allow a driver to lift the cover, clean off the loose leaves, and put in place a new Air Filter, which fits perfectly against the housing and forces all the air flowing into the intake through its fibers. Cotton or oiled foam types are also available as some automotive filters, although the Protege remains on an efficient dry paper type since it is a compromise among cost, filtration, and airflow. Changing the Air Filter at the recommended intervals is probably one of the easy methods of ensuring that a Mazda runs well and its life is not put at risk.
