As a responsible car owner, you want to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. A healthy driving experience is contingent on keeping the air inside the car free from dirt, dust, and other pollutants. The engine and cabin air filters are two important elements that are often overlooked but vital to maintaining optimal vehicle performance.
The cabin air filter sits in the ventilation system and acts as a shield, filtering the air entering the passenger compartment. This filter prevents dust, pollen, pollutants, and odors from entering the vehicle, ensuring you breathe fresh and clean air. Regularly replacing the cabin air filter is vital for those with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
Similarly, the engine air filter is another essential component that must be addressed. It stops dirt, dust, and debris from entering your car's engine, protecting vital engine components from potential damage. A clean engine air filter allows for proper airflow, optimizing fuel efficiency and ensuring smooth acceleration.
Refer to your owner's manual or visit our knowledgeable staff at Acura of Ellicott City to determine when to replace these filters. Regularly changing them out ensures that you avoid reduced air quality and decreased engine performance, thereby prolonging the life of your engine and providing a healthier driving experience.
