Keep Your Air Clean with an Engine Air Filter Service

January 15th, 2024

Keeping the air inside your ride clean might sound silly, but the quality of air you're breathing as you drive is a big deal. When you cruise down the road your vehicle comes into contact with numerous bits of debris and pollutants in the air. The same thing happens when you're entering or exiting your car. Having a cabin air filter for your engine is supposed to help filter out some of the harmful dust and debris that naturally gets pisces up as you travel, making the air inside your ride a little bit crisper and cleaner. However, like any air filter you might be familiar with, overtime the filter will get dirty and stop working as well to keep the vehicle's air clean. When that happens it's a good idea to give us a ring or stop by to have a technician look into a replacement air filter.

When your engine air filter becomes dirty, it makes it harder to filter the contaminants back out of the vehicle. This means that other components of your vehicle need to work harder, like your engine itself. Ultimately, your engine air filter is designed to protect and filter the air around the engine block, letting it work optimally so you can drive on in peace. It might sound hard to determine if there's an issue with the engine air filter without bringing your ride in for maintenance, but there are a few telltale signs that can indicate a dirty engine air filter might be the issue. If you suddenly notice your fuel economy dropping and you're getting less miles out of your last fill up, chances are your engine is working extra hard to make up for the engine air filter. When this happens, it's time to let an expert handle the work.
