Benefits of Changing Your Cabin Air Filter in Kennesaw, GA

The cabin air filter within your vehicle can often be forgotten on the to-do list for car maintenance. While many drivers know to get their oil changed and tires rotated regularly, the air filter can go unnoticed for months until one of our technicians unveils the dust and grime that has accumulated over time. It’s best to get your air filter replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. However, if you live in a bustling city, it may need to be replaced more often. Don’t hesitate to get this taken care of when our technicians show you the buildup that has collected on your air filter. Wondering how much of an impact the filter has on the cabin of your vehicle? Keep reading and we’ll shed some light on the subject. After reading, feel free to visit Cobb County Toyota’s service department and we’ll replace your cabin air filter for you!

Pollution Reduction

When you’re driving on a busy road (especially the highway with stop-and-go traffic), you’ll want a fresh air filter to combat the exhaust fumes being emitted by neighboring vehicles. We recommend frequently switching out the air filter with a new one in order to reduce the amount of pollution that seeps into your vehicle’s interior. Breathe fresh, clean air and ensure your cabin is a healthy environment to spend your commute in.

Fewer Allergens

Even if you don’t experience extreme environmental allergies (due to pollen or grass), spring and summer comes with an increase in allergens in the air that cause sore throats, itchy eyes and congestion for just about everyone. Replacing your cabin air filter can help reduce pollen and irritants from getting into your vehicle.

Better HVAC Air Flow

You may not realize that a vehicle’s HVAC system is powered by the engine. If you haven’t replaced your air filter in a while, the engine has to work hard to move air past the grime that has accumulated, causing it to lose efficiency when it comes to its fuel consumption. Stay on top of this easy part of routine maintenance to aid in your engine’s efficiency.

Less Odors

Notice a strange odor coming from your dash? We highly recommend getting your cabin air filter replaced if this is the case. Exhaust fumes, mold or dead leaves can cause bad odors if you don’t regularly change your air filter. Plus, if you notice the HVAC system is running loudly, this could also be a telltale sign to replace the air filter.
