Changing Your Cars Engine Air Filter

WHY ARE AIR FILTERS IMPORTANT?

Air filters are an essential component of any HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. They help to clean the air that circulates through your home or office by trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles that can be harmful to your health. By removing these particles, air filters improve indoor air quality, making it easier to breathe and reducing the risk of respiratory problems. Additionally, air filters help to protect your HVAC system from damage by preventing dust and debris from accumulating on its components, which can cause it to work harder and break down faster. Regularly replacing your air filters is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC system, as well as keeping your indoor air clean and healthy.

BREATHE EASY. WE HAVE THE AIR FILTERS YOU NEED.

While cars can seem to get dirty fast, they try really hard to keep themselves clean – which is why your car has two different types of air filters. Engine air filters and cabin air filters both works to purify the air in your vehicle.

CABIN AIR FILTER VS. ENGINE AIR FILTER

The cabin air filter’s job is to make sure the air you’re breathing in the cockpit is clean. It prevents pollutants such as dust, smog, pollen, mold spores, leaves, rodent droppings, and other unwanted debris from being blown into your face. If you have a dirty cabin air filter, getting it replaced is literally a breath of fresh air!

The engine air filter has the important job of preventing dust, dirt, and other debris from getting into your engine, while also ensuring your engine is getting the correct mixture of air and fuel. When you press your gas pedal, you’re controlling how much air and fuel are allowed into your vehicle’s engine. Kind of like controlling your vehicle’s breathing pattern of inhaling and exhaling. If your engine air filter becomes restricted, the limited airflow leads to poor engine performance, weak acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even oil leaks. And you don’t have to be a doctor to know that’s not good.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR CAR'S AIR FILTERS?

Over time, your air filters become dirty and will need to be replaced. Maintenance schedules can vary for how often your air filters should be changed and are largely dependent upon vehicle make and model, driving conditions, and different factory suggestions. An air filter’s replacement timeline typically ranges between 15,000-40,000 miles. Has it been a while since you’ve had your air filters looked at? It never hurts to get an expert to check next time you’re in the auto shop!
