Air Filter Replacement in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio

There are two kinds of air filters that are used in almost every vehicle. The engine air filter is located under the hood and protects your vehicle's engine from a variety of contaminants like bugs, pollen, dirt, and water. This air filter catches anything that blows into the front of your vehicle and prevents it from causing excess wear and tear on engine parts.

The cabin air filter - whether you have your heat or A/C on or off - keeps particles like mold, pollen, dirt, dust, bugs, leaves, exhaust fumes and other air pollutants out of the air you breath while driving. Cabin air filters also prevent any of these air pollutants from clogging up your vehicles A/C system. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, the cabin air filter could be located under the hood, under the dash, or even behind the glove compartment.

Why Air Filter Maintenance is Important:

It depends on make of your car, SUV, or truck, but most manufacturers recommend a new engine air filter around 30,000 miles. If you drive often in more extreme roadway conditions - unpaved roads, off-roading, roadway construction, or icy roads treated with ice salt - it is recommended you change your engine air filter more frequently, at around 15,000 miles. Lack of engine air filter maintenance can lead to engine damage, prolonged decreased gas mileage and even engine starting issues. Cabin air filters should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, and on the earlier side if you live in a windy area with a lot of dust or sand. Keeping up with cabin air filter changes is crucial to keep the air you and your fellow occupants breathe clean and free of potentially harmful pollutants
