 - An air filter is a device which removes contaminants, often solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from air.
- Two main types of air filters are used in automobiles: the combustion air filter, and the cabin air filter.
- Paper Filters: Pleated paper filter elements are the nearly exclusive choice for automobile engine air cleaners, because they are efficient, easy to service, and cost-effective.
- Fiam Filters: Oil-wetted polyurethane foam elements are used in some aftermarket replacement automobile air filters.
- Cotton Filters: Cotton is employed in a small number of aftermarket automotive air filters marketed as high-performance items.
- Oil Bath Filters: An oil bath air cleaner consists of a round base bowl containing a pool of oil, and a round insert which is filled with fibre, mesh, foam, or another coarse filter media.
