Such a check will always do more harm to your engine
than good. Ridges of dirt on the gasket sealing surface
can drop on the clean filter side when the gasket is
released. Stick with the schedule. If you are on
restriction maintenance, follow your reading or get a new
indicator if you don't trust it.

Rapping hard enough to knock off dust often damages
the element and destroys your engine protection.
Deeply embedded dirt is never released by tapping. It's
always safer to keep operating until you can change to a
fresh filter.

A dirty filter may still have plenty of life left, while carbon
contamination is not visible to the eye. And you can't see
the dirt that is embedded deep within the filter paper.
Your best bet for lowest filter maintenance costs and best
engine performance is to follow a restriction gauge. It's a
smart, low-cost investment.

Your open air cleaner is a direct entry to your engine. If
the element is not going to be changed and
reassembled immediately, cover the opening. The only
way to be sure nothing got in is to be sure nothing gets in.

If your cleaner has a cover gasket, replace it with a new
one. Always check to be sure no piece of the old gasket
remains in the housing and that the gasket is not worn. If
your filter model calls for a new gasket with each use,
never reuse the old one.

Never install a dented or punctured element, because it
cannot protect properly against contamination. A dent
can make a firm seal impossible or can indicate
damaged media. An element with bunched pleats saps
engine power and fuel dollars right from the start.

Elements may look almost identical but can differ by a
fraction of an inch in length - a difference that makes a
firm seal impossible. You're always better off using the
dirty element until you can get the correct model.
