As a car owner, it's crucial to stay on top of regular maintenance to keep your vehicle, such as the 2025 Honda HR-V, 2010 Honda Accord, or 2025 Honda Ridgeline, running smoothly. One often overlooked but important aspect of car maintenance is replacing your car's air filters. At Carland in Alpharetta, our service center can replace your cabin and engine filters easily. Whether you own a brand new 2025 Honda Pilot or a 2025 Honda CR-V, an older 2023 Honda HR-V, or any other model, we have you covered.
Why Replace Your Vehicle's Air Filters?
The air filters of your vehicle, such as the 2025 Honda Civic, 2020 Honda Accord, and other models, play a vital role in protecting your engine and ensuring optimal performance. The engine air filter prevents dirt, dust, and debris from entering the engine, while the cabin air filter helps to keep the air inside your vehicle clean and free of pollutants. Over time, these filters become clogged with contaminants, reducing their effectiveness and potentially causing issues with your vehicle's performance.
Neglecting to replace your air filters can reduce engine power and even cause engine damage in extreme cases. In Roswell and the surrounding areas, where pollen and other airborne particles are common, it's especially important to stay on top of air filter maintenance.
Manufacturer Recommended Air Filter Replacement Intervals
The manufacturer recommends replacing your vehicle's engine air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or once a year, depending on your specific model and driving conditions. If you frequently drive in dusty or polluted environments, such as in Atlanta's bustling city center, you may need to replace your engine air filter more often.
As for the cabin air filter, the manufacturer suggests replacement every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or once a year, whichever comes first. However, if you notice reduced airflow from your vehicle's vents or an unpleasant odor, it may be time to replace the cabin air filter sooner.
Signs That Your Vehicle's Air Filters Need Replacing
While following the manufacturer's recommended replacement intervals is a good rule of thumb, there are also some signs to watch out for that indicate your car, truck, or SUV's air filters may need immediate attention:
- Reduced engine power or acceleration
- Unusual engine sounds
- Check engine light illumination
- Musty odor from the vehicle's vents (cabin air filter)
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's best to have your air filters inspected and replaced if necessary. Residents of Alpharetta can rely on the experienced technicians at Carland's Service Center to properly diagnose and address any air filter issues.
The Difference Between Cabin and Engine Air Filters
It's important to note that your vehicle has two distinct air filters serving different purposes. The engine air filter is located under the hood and is responsible for keeping contaminants out of your engine. A clean engine air filter ensures optimal engine performance.
The cabin air filter, on the other hand, is typically located behind the glove compartment and filters the air that enters your vehicle's passenger compartment through the HVAC system. This filter traps dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, providing cleaner, healthier air for you and your passengers.
