Air Filters

Chances are, you don't realize how important your air filters are. There's more than one reason that your vehicle has two, though. Much like your oil filter and fuel filter, they help to protect essential systems and parts from airborne contaminants.

The Two Types of Air Filters

The first one is the engine air filter. It traps pollutants and debris before they can get into the air intake and collect on the other engine parts. Then there's the cabin air filter. It's responsible for preventing allergens and particulates from getting into the air ducts, accumulating on the vents and fans, and invading the passenger space.

Recognize the Symptoms of a Faulty Air Filter

Unfortunately, air filters will eventually degrade with age. More likely, though, yours will get too blocked up to perform as they should. Signs of this include:

• Increased exhaust emissions
• Acceleration trouble
• Odd engine noises
• Reduced power
• Reduced gas mileage
• Mucky cabin environment
• Whistling sounds from the air vents
• Inconsistent cabin temperature
