Benefits of Changing Your Cabin Air Filter
Benefits of Changing Your Cabin Air Filter in Hopkinsville, KY
So you’ve had your Toyota model’s oil changed, tires rotated and wiper replaced, but what about the cabin air filter? Many car owners forget about this simple service, but ideally, it should be changed every 12,000 to 15,000 miles (more frequently if you live in a city or more populated area). When our technicians offer to change their vehicle’s cabin air filter for them, some of our customers decline since they don’t see this service as a necessity. But there are a few components in your car that the cabin air filter influences. Let’s take a look below to learn about the benefits of regular cabin air filter replacement here at Toyota of Hopkinsville.
Pollution Reduction
Breathe healthier when you replace your cabin air filter. It’s effectively the only barrier between you and the outside air, which is full of smog, smoke and dirty exhaust fumes from other vehicles. When you regularly change your vehicle’s cabin air filter, you’ll reduce the amount of pollution in your car, letting you breathe easier and live healthier.
Fewer Allergens
Do you have severe environmental allergies (like to pollen or grass)? If so, you’ll know how important it is to limit your exposure, especially during those spring and summer months. Replacing your model’s cabin air filter can reduce allergen and pollen buildup, getting rid of those irritating molecules that get inside your Toyota.
Better HVAC Air Flow
Your model’s HVAC system is powered by the engine, and when the engine has to work harder to move air past a dirty, clogged cabin air filter, it won’t be as efficient in other vital areas, like fuel efficiency. So when you have a clean cabin air filter, the cooling and heating systems will better regulate temperature in your model, and your engine will run more efficiently just as it should.
Less Odors
Sick of smelling exhaust fumes, mold or dead leaves? Your cabin air filter is probably full of these unsavory smells since mold can grow and dead leaves can gather when left unchecked. If you’ve noticed that your HVAC is running loudly or that constant smell just won’t go away, it’s probably time for a cabin air filter replacement.
