Many Portland locals spend a considerable amount of time in their vehicles each day. As such, much like your home, the interior of your auto should have an acceptably high indoor air quality. If it doesn’t, passengers with asthma, allergies, and any other respiratory issues can suffer. At Al Willeford Chevrolet, we’re committed to helping consumers understand just how important their engine and cabin air filters are.

Understanding The Role Of The Cabin Air Filter

The air filter in your vehicle’s cabin is tasked with the challenge of removing particulates like pollen, dirt, dander, and other airborne debris. Although these things may not be visible to the naked eye, they can still wreak havoc on your lungs. If you regularly use your car’s climate control system, you should have the cabin air filter routinely inspected and changed.

How The Engine Air Filter Helps Keep Your Engine Safe

Just as the cabin air filter protects your respiratory system and your overall health by extracting potentially harmful particulates, the engine air filter removes dirt and dust before it has the chance to damage the engine. During servicing, this filter can be removed, inspected, and replaced as necessary. Regular engine air filter replacements are essential for keeping your engine protected.
