How to replace the air filter element of the Renault Sandero engine

Replaceable element of the engine air filter is replaced at the next maintenance after 15 thousand kilometers.

But if the car is operated in dusty conditions, then we replace the element earlier.

If the air filter is dirty, engine power will be reduced and fuel consumption will increase. If the air filter is very dirty, oil may be sucked from the crankcase ventilation system.
