Air Filters
What do air filters do? Particles like mold, pollen, bacteria, and dust may damage engine parts. Air filters keep the air that moves into the engine clean from particles. The majority of cars have 2 kinds of air filters. The interior combustion air filter processes the air taken into the engine and stops additional wear on the engine by eliminating contaminants. The cabin air filter works to cleanse the air that moves into the cabin with the ventilation system by getting rid of damaging elements from the cooling and heating systems.
Car Air Filter Replacement
A dirty or clogged air filter can create problems with gas economy, performance, emissions, and may result in added engine repairs. Old air filters can impact air conditioning performance and may also pose possible health hazards for the driver and passengers.
Car air filters might have to be replaced if you have:
- A reduction of engine power or fuel economy
- Emissions issues
- Odd, wet, or musty smells coming from vents
Air filters keep the air moving into the engine clean and free from debris, protecting against pollutants that can cause additional wear on the engine.
Your cabin air filter should be changed every 19,000 kilometers or, at the very least, annually. Internal combustion air filters should be checked frequently and must be changed every 4,800 to 24,000 kilometers (or with your oil change). Vehicles steered in severe roadway conditions, dirty roads, off-roading, roadway construction, or icy roads treated with ice salt often require the air filters to be changed more frequently.
