How often should a mass air flow sensor be replaced?

The life of your MAF sensor can be extended with regular maintenance and air filter replacement. A good rule of thumb is to drive every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Mass airflow sensors (MAF) have no expiration date. They are not included on the manufacturer’s scheduled maintenance list of things to replace based on mileage, like spark plugs or filters. They can remain in service indefinitely as long as they continue to function correctly.
