It only takes a few grams of ingested dirt over the normal service life of an engine to cause a dusted engine Do not clean element replace with a new element only Cleaning used air filter elements through improper cleaning procedures can get dust on the inside of the filter causing dirt ingestion and engine failure It is important to note that whenever an air filter element is cleaned by any method the person or company performing the cleaning assumes responsibility for the integrity of the filter from then on The Donaldson warranty for air filters expires upon cleaning or servicing in any manner because the condition of the filter after servicing is completely out of their control Therefore on a dust ingested engine failure there will be no warranty consideration if the air filter element has been cleaned or serviced in any manner A partially dirty air filter element works better than a new element Therefore a dirty filter element is not bad for the engine unless it is excessively restricting the air flow and engine performance is affected The reason is simple The media in the filter must be porous to allow air to pass through it When dirty air passes through the filter the dirt plugs some of the holes in the media and actually acts as part of the filter media When the next round of dirt enters the first dirt helps filter out even smaller particles making the filter more efficient at stopping dirt from entering the engine
