From gas mileage getting worse, from the engine misfiring, running poorly and making strange noises, from black, smoky exhaust, and from the Check Engine light coming on the dash. You may also smell fuel in the exhaust, and your ride may have trouble speeding up. Assemblies themselves aren't usually the problem; engine air filters are.

What Does Replacing a Vehicle's Air Cleaner Assembly Cost on Average?

It depends on whether the assembly's housing is plastic or metal, and on whether the engine filter is paper, foam or cotton, or oil bath. (Paper is commonest in most cars and SUVs, while foam and cotton are sometimes found in performance vehicles and oil bath is used mostly in off-roading.) Make and model are also factors.

Engine filter replacements run anywhere from $60 to $75 on average, usually. Include housings, and price goes up from there. Take Subaru Forester, for instance; replacing its filter can run $66 plus. Replacing the filter in a Toyota Corolla, on the other hand, can run $50 to $70. For Volkswagen Jetta, $60 or $70 on average, and so on.

If you're changing your air cleaner assembly and its filter, be sure to use OEM parts.

Why Buy an OEM Air Cleaner Assembly, vs. Aftermarket?

Unlike some aftermarket assemblies, it'll be top-quality, fit right, and work the first time. It won't void your factory warranty, either (meaning, it won't put you on the hook for costlier repairs otherwise covered down the road).
