If you love cars and know their stuff as we do at Delaware Subaru in Wilmington, DE, then you understand the importance of keeping fellow car enthusiasts in the know. Today, let's dive into an overlooked topic: cabin and engine air filters. These unsung heroes play a massive role in your car's overall performance and driving comfort.
Cabin Air Filters
Think of the cabin air filter as your car's lung. It works hard to ensure the air you breathe inside is pure and free from dust, pollen, and those pesky odors. This filter gets bogged down as time passes, leading to less fresh air and a less-than-pleasant interior. Swapping out your cabin air filter regularly, usually every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, can make a difference. This is especially true if you battle allergies.
Engine Air Filters
Just like you need clean air, your car's engine deserves the same treatment. The engine air filter's job is to block out dirt, debris, and anything harmful from entering the combustion zone. A clogged filter means less airflow, resulting in lower fuel efficiency and engine oomph, and changing the filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles to keep your engine humming, depending on how you drive.
Remember, staying on top of your cabin and engine air filters keeps you breathing easy and your car running smoothly for longer. So, give your ride the filter love it deserves!
