An air filter system for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle can
have an indicator for signaling restricted flow of air through a
replaceable air filter member mounted to a filter assembly. At least one
sidewall can be associated with the replaceable air filter member to be
positioned with an air stream passing through the air filter member. A
resettable air filter status indicator can provide a visually perceivable
signal external of the filter assembly. The resettable air filter status
indicator can be integrally formed in the sidewall for indicating if a
mounted air filter member requires replacement in response to air intake
differential pressure with respect to atmospheric pressure on a
downstream side of air flow through the replaceable filter member being
above a predetermined threshold value.
