Did you know that changing the various filters in your Porsche could be the best thing you can do to extend its life? According to many auto experts, filters play a huge role in the life and overall well-being of a Porsche. Here is a brief explanation of three vital filters and what they do.

Air filters are designed to trap and remove any dirt that passes through the air before it gets through to the carburetor on older models. On newer models, air filters are designed to protect the fuel injectors. You should replace these about every 20,000 miles in your Porsche. If you live in dusty areas, you should have your Porsche's air filter checked regularly and replaced when it gets dirty regardless of how long you've had it in your car.

Oil filters helps remove rust, soot and other particles that could damage the engine on your Porsche. These should be replaced every 3,000 miles or whenever you get your oil changed.

Fuel filters protect your injector from contaminant. If particles get through, they can cause a great deal of damage to your Porsche. These should be replaced every 30,000 miles to prevent loss of high speed power, stalling and hard starting. Some auto experts suggest getting them changed on a yearly basis for the best performance from your Porsche.
