After cleaning the car air filter, you can reuse it. You do have to clean your car air filter to get better mileage on your car. You can clean the air filter yourself by reading up on the Internet or by checking up on the owner’s manual. But this is allowed only by a few brands. Disposable air filters are really cheap. Most service centers will replace your used filter with a disposable one. Another option is to remove the air filter and blow out the extra dirt without bending the pleats of the filter. This will last you longer, but you eventually will have to replace the filter. A better eco-friendly option is to get washable and reusable filters from companies like K & N. The only problem here is that these will cost slightly more, but they will last you a longer time. You have to check these filters every 50,000 miles, and then give them a good cleaning with stock kits that the company will supply.
