Air Filters

All vehicles have two types of air filters: a cabin air filter and an engine air filter. Yours is no different. Both help prevent the buildup of airborne contaminants, in heating and air conditioning systems and engines, respectively. In short, they help keep them both working right.

If your vehicle didn't have air filters, pollutants would start to cause problems with your air intake, fuel injectors, spark plugs, HVAC, and more. Unfortunately, any filter can wear out with age or clog full of dirt and debris. When it does, related problems almost certainly follow.

What are the Signs Car Air Filters Need Replacing?

Look for:

• A lit Check Engine light on the dash
• A worn-out filter
• Debris accumulation in the filter
• Abnormal engine noises
• A stressed and misfiring motor
• A reduction in fuel efficiency
• Increased emissions
• High exhaust production
• Malfunctioning heat and AC systems
• Unclean smells in your cabin

You can prevent these issues by changing both air filters regularly.
