Under your hood you will find a disposable paper and cardboard construction known as the Chevrolet Impala air filter. Though the Impala air filter is designed to be used up and discarded, it serves an important function in the smooth operation of your engine. The Chevrolet Impala air filter blocks dirt, dust, debris, and grime from your combustion cylinders while allowing clean air through.

The job of your Impala air filter is important to your engine, because it relies on a mixture of oxygen and fuel to produce power. Of course, this means that when your Chevrolet Impala air filter is dirty or clogged, your engine cannot get any air.

You may have seen your Impala air filter if you have gone to a quick-change oil garage and been asked if you would like your air filter replaced. Often the mechanic will show you your Impala air filter when asking about a replacement, and it may not look very dirty-but the mechanic is probably not trying to rip you off. You can't always tell visibly whether your air filter needs to be replaced, because there could be a large amount of dust trapped inside the paper fibers that you cannot see. The most reliable test for your Impala air filter is to blow through it, and see if any air penetrates the filter. If your air filter allows little resistance to air, it should not need to be replaced. However, if you cannot blow relatively easily through your Impala air filter, you should install a new filter as soon as possible. At the minimum, your air filter should be replaced at least once per year.Find a full line of Impala air filters in our online catalogue.
