Spring and Fall is the BEST time to change your Air Filters! Your vehicle comes equipped with an Air Filter, however, some vehicles also have a Cabin Air Filter.
Your Air Filter's main purpose is to filter out dust and debris from entering your engine. Your Cabin Air Filter is to filter out allergens and pollution in the air from entering the inside of your vehicle.
Your air filter should be changed every 12,000 - 15,000 miles and also before and after pollen season.
If you are a smoker, or live in a very dusty or desert-like environment consider changing your air filter every 6,000 - 9,000 miles.
Changing your air filter puts less strain on your A/C and heating system. Less strain means better performance. Having a clogged air filter leads to unnecessary wear and higher repair bills.
Putting too much strain on your vehicle will make your vehicle work harder and lower your fuel efficiency.
If you have allergies, changing your cabin air filter will help screen out more dust particles and pollen in the air. This will help you breathe easier and lower respiratory problems.
A dirty, clogged air filter will eventually start to deteriorate and will also send all of the gunk it has filtered out, into your vehicle. So, when you turn on the heat or a/c, these pieces will literally blow right into your vehicle or right into your engine.
