What it does: Particles like mold and mildew, pollen, microbes, and dust can easily harm engine parts. Air filters keep the air that moves in engine clean from debris. The majority of vehicles have 2 various sorts of air filters. The internal combustion air filter eliminates air pollutants pulled into the engine. The cabin air filter exists to cleanse the air that moves into the cabin by eliminating unsafe elements from the air conditioning and heating systems.

Why service is very important: A filthy air filter could cause complications with gas economy, efficiency, and sometimes can cause added engine repairs. Worn or unclean cabin air filters can negatively impact AC performance and may also pose a prospective health danger for the driver and any passengers.

Car Filters might have to be changed if you have:

• Reduction of engine power or fuel economy
• Emissions concerns
• Odd, wet, or musty smells when the vent out is on

It’s suggested that the cabin air filter be changed every 12,000 miles or at least yearly. Internal combustion air filters should be spot checked often and changed every 3,000 – 15,000 miles or with your oil change. Vehicles driven in extreme roadway conditions, dirty roadways, off-roading, roadway construction, or icy roadways treated with ice salt require more frequent maintenance.
