Cabin Air Filter vs. Engine Air Filter

There are several car air filters that keep your vehicle both comfortable and running safely on Stephenville streets. When you bring your car to the Bayer Auto Group service center for a regular maintenance appointment, you might have an air filter replacement on the list of jobs performed. If you don’t know the differences between the engine air filter vs. cabin air filter, you might wonder if you’re paying for more air filters than you need. The good news is, that’s unlikely to happen. With car air filters, different ones do different jobs. Find out more about the differences between the cabin air filter vs. engine air filter and how many air filters you car has with Bayer Auto Group 

How Many Air Filters Does a Car Have?

Most gasoline-powered vehicles on the streets of Brownwood and Abilene have two air filters: a cabin air filter and engine air filter. Both air filters remove pollutants from the air before they enter your vehicle. They just do it in different places. The cabin air filter keeps you and your passengers from breathing in pollutants, pollen, and Texas dust, which also helps keep your car’s interior clean. The engine air filter keeps pollutants out of the car’s engine, where they can lead to friction that can cause engine damage. Both of these car air filters need to be replaced regularly. 

Signs That it’s Time to Change a Car Air Filter

If you do a lot of driving on dusty roads or you have a truck that’s on construction sites frequently, you’ll likely need to change both of your car air filters more often than suggesgted. Still, check your owner’s manual to find out how often your engine air filter needs to be replaced. The certified technicians in our service department can also help. They’ll check your engine air filter during your car’s maintenance appointments and will let you know if it’s time for a replacement. 

You likely won’t need a professional to tell you when it’s time to replace your cabin air filter. Watch out for these signs that it’s time for a new cabin air filter: 

• Weak airflow when your heat or air condition is running
• Lingering unpleasant odor
• More dust than usual on the interior surfaces of your vehicle
