What Do Cabin Air Filters Do?
A cabin air filter catches particles entering your vehicle through the air vents. While sometimes it's alright to have unfiltered air in your cabin, there are certain times that you want it to be cleaner. Whether it's pollution, smoke, or pollen, your cabin air filter can improve your breathing air and help you avoid harmful particles.
When Do I Replace My Air Filter?
We recommend that you replace your air filter between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. That being said, there are times when you may need to replace your filter sooner. If you drive in an area with lots of pollutants, it will shorten the lifespan of your filter. Our service team can inspect your air filter to assess its condition and recommend when it should be changed.
We recommend that you change your air filter every 5,000 miles if you are particularly sensitive to pollutants.
Red Flags
Most issues with your air filter can be detected fairly easily by the driver. Some of the red flags of an ineffective filter include:
- Health problems from pollutants
- A/C will run poorly
