Everyone who buys or leases a car, truck, SUV, or minivan wants to find a way of maintaining the same kind of performance their vehicle had on the day they got it. Generally speaking, the best way of trying to make that happen is to take care of all of your car's routine maintenance needs in a timely fashion. One item of routine car service that is often overlooked are air filters. The service center at DCH Brunswick Toyota, located at 1504 US Route 1 in North Brunswick Township, NJ, is here to tell you all about your vehicle's air filters and when they should be serviced.
What Kind of Air Filters Does My Car Have?
Most vehicles have two air filters. The first is a cabin air filter and the other is an engine air filter. Your cabin air filter ensures that the air that is circulated through the cabin from the AC or heating system is free of pollutants, pollen, mold, and other particles. Meanwhile, the engine air filter makes sure that the air going through your car's engine is free of dirt, dust, bugs, and other pollutants. Clean air is vital to the performance of your engine. It is also important to have clean air in the cabin, so you and your passengers can continue to breathe easily.
When Should I Service My Cabin Air Filter?
Your owner's manual will let you know when you should change your car's cabin air filter. It varies depending on make and model. Other factors, like the air quality in your area, will also impact how often you should change it. Most vehicles can go anywhere from 12,000 to 30,000 miles before their cabin air filter needs to be replaced.
When Should I Service My Engine Air Filter?
Drivers should consult their owner's manual to find out the recommendations for getting their engine air filter changed. Many cars need their engine air filter replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. There are a number of factors that might influence when you want to get your engine air filter replaced, like the types of roads you travel and the air quality where you live.
