The Benefits of Cabin and Engine Filter Service

Your vehicle, regardless of the make or model, has two air filters. The engine air filter is responsible for filtering out debris, particles and dust that filter into the working components of the engine. If not collected, this debris can negatively impact how your vehicle performs or decrease the fuel economy. As a result, you may notice issues with the power and acceleration, which makes it even more important to schedule an engine air filter replacement.

The cabin air filter is typically located under the hood or behind the glove box. The cabin air filter collects dust, pollen and environmental agents and prevents these agents from entering the filtration system or the cabin as a whole. Scheduling a cabin air filter helps to ensure you have clean air within the interior; it also improves the air intake and prevents allergens from escaping into the interior of the vehicle through the air conditioning or heating vents.

When the cabin air filter is dirty, this impacts the HVAC system and the overall air quality. Scheduling a cabin and engine filter replacement at our service center in St. Marys, PA, helps to keep your vehicle environment clean and your engine free from dust, debris or environmental agents.

When to Schedule Cabin Air Filter Replacements

One of the most common questions our service advisors receive at Spitzer Chevrolet St Marys is about the timeline for cabin and engine filter replacements. On average, most vehicles require a new cabin air filter and engine air filter every 15,000 miles to 30,000 miles, as recommended by the manufacturer and noted in the owner’s manual. However, this timeline can change based on signs you may notice.

For example, the environment where you drive can impact how often your cabin filter needs to be replaced. If you live in regions with frequent dust or pollution, it’s likely that you’ll have a dirty air filter that inhibits fresh air flow into the cabin sooner than the recommended timeline for replacements. If you drive in regions with high pollen rates or you smoke within the interior of your car, replacing the cabin air filter more often can help to minimize odors and the risk of the filter being clogged with dirt or particles.

When to Schedule Engine Air Filter Replacements

During routine maintenance, the team at Spitzer Chevrolet St Marys will fully inspect your engine air filter. In between your routine service visits, there are some signs you may notice that could indicate the need for an engine air replacement. One common sign is an illuminated check engine light on your dashboard. A quick glance at your engine air filter may reveal that it is clogged with dirt or particles. If the light still illuminates, our technicians will fully diagnose your vehicle with our high-end equipment to uncover the cause.

Another sign that your engine air filter is dirty is if you begin to notice a decrease in performance and fuel efficiency. Additional signs include dark smoke from the exhaust, an odd noise stemming from under the hood and a slow start up.

Strange odors with the cabin or weaker heating ventilation and air conditioning begs the need for a cabin and engine filter replacement, too. Access our website to schedule service right away. site to schedule service online or contact the service advisor at our Honda dealership in DuBois, PA.
