Benefits of Changing Your Cabin Air Filter in Opelousas, LA
You regularly have your oil changed, but what about your cabin air filter? Many drivers don’t have this filter changed as often as they should (ideally every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, and more regularly for drivers in busy cities or highly populated areas). Customers often don’t realize how important the cabin air filter is and turn down this service when our technicians offer it here at Giles Nissan Opelousas. However, this filter is actually vital for a high-quality driving experience, and replacing it should be a regular part of your Nissan model’s maintenance schedule. Keep reading to learn about the benefits of replacing your cabin air filter and why you should say yes to this service at your next appointment.
Pollution Reduction
When you replace your cabin air filter, you can breathe more easily, knowing there’s a barrier between you and the smog, smoke and exhaust fumes outside your cabin. Regularly replacing this filter reduces the pollution that comes into your vehicle and makes your car a healthier place to be. Once the filter gets clogged, it’s much less effective at filtering out dirty air and needs to be replaced.
Fewer Allergens
If you suffer from seasonal and environmental allergies to things like pollen, grass or leaf mold, you probably try to reduce your exposure to these allergens as much as possible. Your cabin air filter can help with this! A clean, fresh filter keeps annoying allergen particles out of your Nissan, giving you more time without allergy symptoms.
Better HVAC Air Flow
Did you know that a clogged cabin air filter can actually hurt your engine’s efficiency? Your engine powers your model’s HVAC system, and when air isn’t flowing easily through your cabin air filter, your engine has to work harder to push air through the system. As a result, this affects fuel efficiency and other crucial functions. Replacing your cabin air filter allows your cooling and heating system to keep your cabin at a regulated temperature, allowing your engine to run efficiently.
Less Odors
Does your car smell unpleasant, especially when you turn up the A/C or heating? If you smell exhaust fumes, dead leaves or mold, your cabin air filter may be full of debris that has collected since the last time you replaced it. A smelly car can be an indicator that it’s time to replace your cabin air filter; another indicator is a HVAC system that’s running more loudly than normal. Replacing a cabin air filter is a quick and easy job, and our service team can have it done in no time. Not sure if it’s time to replace yours? Contact us and we’ll be happy to advise you.
