Breathe Deep With Your Cabin Air Filter
Bad air quality while
you're driving around Old Irving park is nothing to sneeze at. But
seriously, more and more vehicles these days come equipped with a cabin
air filter. Since they're fairly new on the scene, a lot of folks don't
know about them yet.
These filters clean the air in the passenger
compartment, or cabin, of your car or truck. They do the same job as
the furnace filter you have at home. They can filter out particles as
small as thee microns. By contrast, a grain of sand is about 200
microns.
So your cabin air filer can clean out dust, pollution,
pollen and spores, to keep the air in your car nice and clean. And just
like your furnace filter, they need to be replaced when they get dirty.
Check your owner's manual, but they typically need to be replaced at
around twelve to fifteen thousand miles.
The filter is usually
either under the hood or under the dashboard. Some are a little tricky
to get to, so you'll want to have your Chicago Illinois service center,
Triangle Auto Service, take care of replacing them.
As we said,
many people don't realize they have a cabin air filter and go to their
shop complaining about a funky smell in the ventilation system. It
turned out to be a cabin air filter that was long overdue for
replacement – really dirty and starting to smell. A quick replacement
and they were on their way and smelling fine.
People who are
allergy sensitive can really benefit from a cabin air filter, as it
keeps allergens to a minimum. If you're one of them, you'll want to stay
on top of your filter replacement schedule.
Of course if you do a
lot of driving in dusty or polluted conditions, you'll need to change
your cabin air filter more often. Triangle Auto Service 4060 N. Elston
