The Benefits of Engine and Cabin Air Filter Replacements

Regardless of your make or model, your vehicle has two air filters. The engine air filter, likely located under the hood, works to filter out dust, debris and particles that can inhibit how your engine performs. When dirt and debris build up with a dirty engine air filter, lubrication is blocked to the engine and your fuel economy and performance is impacted.

The cabin air filter is just as important and also located under the hood or located behind the glove box. This filter helps to remove environmental agents within the cabin of your SUV, sedan or pickup truck and gathers dust and particles. This is especially important when using the air conditioner to ensure clean air flow while capturing pollutants and allergens that can put your health at risk.

When you schedule a cabin air filter replacement and engine air filter replacement at our Nissan dealership in Winchester, VA, you can improve the air quality and climate control within the cabin and ensure your engine is ready to perform. At Tri-State Nissan, our dedicated technicians will thoroughly inspect your cabin filter and engine air filter each time you stop in for routine maintenance and recommend a replacement if necessary.

How Often to Change Cabin Air Filters and Engine Filters?

When is the right time to schedule an engine air filter replacement or cabin air filter replacement? Although our technicians follow manufacturer recommendations, on average it’s important to check the filters every 10,000 miles. An engine air filter replacement and cabin air filter replacement is typically needed every 30,000 miles.

However, there are factors that can change this timeline. For instance, it may be necessary to schedule a cabin air filter replacement sooner vs later if you smoke in the vehicle or drive in high-pollution regions. Your driving habits can also affect the need for replacements.

Signs You Need Car Filter Replacements

In addition to following the recommended timeline as detailed on your Nissan maintenance schedule, there could also be some signs and symptoms that indicate the need for cabin air filter replacements or engine air filter replacements. The most obvious sign is when your check engine light illuminates. Some vehicles have a specialized code that detects when filters are dirty and full of debris, particles and dust.

When it’s time to replace the engine filter, you may notice that it is more difficult to accelerate or a decrease in fuel efficiency. More serious signs include dark smoke from the exhaust, an odd noise stemming from the engine or a slow startup.

If you notice a decrease in the car air quality, odors or an abnormal noise within the air filter housing or AC vents, contact the team at Tri-State Nissan in Winchester, VA, right away so we can perform a full inspection of the air filter box and the spark plugs.
